I’m convinced that Thiel is spared this fate solely by his homosexuality and shame in it. He understands the value of keeping some things close to the chest and the risks of being the face of anything. He just came to it in a sad and fucked up way.
Comparatively, Musk thinks himself a glorious hero who should be the face of everything.
Thiel rarely puts himself in any spotlight unless he’s either curated it, or drugged up, freaked out, and kinda losing it.

Did you read the interview with his former fixer / event manager / third? Very interesting.
