He is, but it is weird given the history he has. He was kicked out of Paypal because he wanted to use the MS tech stack instead of LAMP at the time. Now some decades later here he is.


You've got the story wrong. He wasn't kicked out because of the stack debate, but because he sold PP to eBay (making enough money in the process to fund Tesla and SpaceX).


huh? it was Peter Thiel the acting CEO when the sale was done - right after removing Musk for said migration to MS stack.


Yeah, I think you're right and I was wrong.


How many times was he kicked out?
