Musk, Zuckerberg and Andreessen are obviously, nay flagrantly, straight so the extreme conspiracy theory version of this is a nonstarter. Possibly the journalists who have written about these gay men that I have read did not want to be seen as homophobic but it appeared that they simply happened to be gay and very good at entrepreneurship and in Thiel's case theorizing about it. The kind of technical skills needed to thrive in their companies are rare enough that they have no reason to discriminate based on sexual orientation.
I had managed to forget about that stupid gooning article…. you just had to mention it didn’t you? 😑
Fair, I should have just written about it at the time rather than bitterly reference it constantly
Great article. Peter Thiel is definitely up to some evil shit though.
No doubt! Unfortunately he is probably doing it some kind of lame autistic way instead of a hot scandalous way.
It was really quite something to read those comments from mid-century theater critics!
"I mean, I wish Peter tried to groom me" is actually hilarious :)

Even Timnit Gebru does not think that they would discriminate against her even after how she left Google but she chooses not to be evil.
