Crashing “the fastest car in the world.” and coming out of it without a scratch = Made up story. It seems like Thiel makes up exicting heroic stories, just like Trump, to compensate for an otherwise boring excitement-less life.

I guess you learned today something:

Nope. Again, made up (thanks for the downvote everyone). Why wasn't this in the news? No pictures, no accident report, nothing? If the two did indeed "wreck" the car, surely there must've been an insurance report. And you are telling me that not a single SV rag or blog or newspaper has anything on this other than the two of them talking about it?

1 main reason I am calling BS on the story is cos Theil alleges he wasn't wearing a seat belt, and the car wrecked. My cousin DIED because he wasn't wearing a seat belt, and he didn't wreck the car, he hit a tree on the corner at 25 mph (yep 25 mph).

The only wreck pics that come up are the ones of his Model S crash. There's absolutely nothing on this alleged crash/wreck that Theil and Musk were allegedly involved in and came out "without a scratch". https://www.google.com/search?site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1...

I heard that story first from Elon...
"head from Elon..." really. How cute.
