      He was one of Facebooks first investors.

      Also a good friend of Elon. The dude who proclaimed “Fuck Zuck!” as he bought Twitter.

      Thiel got his fortune from PayPal. Along with Musk.

      Who knew 20 years ago that the nerds who made bank on the dotcom bubble would grow up to be the evil cabal taking over the world?

            PHP was reborn in the 7th version, and it still works very well.
