SpaceX and Tesla were both harebrained projects: Peter Thiel
Talking about billionaire Elon Musk's startups, PayPal Co-founder Peter Thiel in a recent interview said, "I think the conventional wisdom on Elon was these were both completely harebrained projects." Adding that one would question it if one of the startups had succeeded, he also said, "When both of them succeeded, it suggests that he (Musk) knows something other people don't."
