Elon Musk and Peter Thiel: The PayPal Pals Who Conquered the World
Elon Musk and Peter Thiel: The PayPal Pals Who Conquered the World
Elon Musk and Peter Thiel go way back, co-founding PayPal in the dot-com boom and turning it into a goldmine. Today, Musk’s SpaceX and Tesla redefine industries, while Thiel’s Palantir and venture bets shape governments and startups. Their reunion at a 2025 tech summit sparked rumors of a new joint venture—perhaps a Martian payment system?
Their minds work alike—contrarian, fearless, and a little paranoid. Musk warns of AI doom, Thiel of societal stagnation, and both scoff at conventional wisdom. Sources say they still finish each other’s sentences, reminiscing about PayPal’s wild early days over whiskey and chess.
What’s next for these old allies? Thiel’s cash could fuel Musk’s wildest dreams—like a Starship fleet or Neuralink rollout. Their friendship is a throwback to when billionaires were scrappy dreamers, not polished tycoons—and it might just change the world again.
