This dude is absolutely fukking ruthless. A Silicon Valley billionaire is reportedly funding the legal war to end Gawker
As for why any moneyed Silicon Valley figure would spend millions of dollars to help Hogan, Forbes points not to any great friendship between the wrestler and an angel investor, but to Thiel's history with Gawker. Thiel — one of the earliest investors in Facebook, a recent Donald Trump delegate, an advocate for kids to drop out of college, and a fan of futuristic floating cities — said Gawker Media's Valleywag blog was "the Silicon Valley equivalent of Al Qaeda" two years after it outed his sexuality. Denton appeared in the comments of the piece outing Thiel, the Gawker founder claiming that Thiel had threatened him with "the destruction that would rain down on me, and various innocent civilians caught in the crossfire, if a story ever ran" about Thiel's sexuality.
