Which company he was asked (but declined) to be cofounder of? Ah, must be Solar City. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_City "SolarCity was founded in July 2006 by brothers Peter and Lyndon Rive, based on a suggestion for a solar company concept from Elon Musk."

And the douchebag remark was directed at Eberhard? No, it was Randall Stross. http://techcrunch.com/2009/04/10/teslas-elon-musk-grows-a-pa...

Thiel and he riding in an F1? I thought it only had one seat. No, three seats: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mclaren_f1

They thought that someone with a F1 would like to show it to their friends. So they manage to put 2 extra seats behind the driver. http://media.photobucket.com/image/recent/rydeordiekid570/MC...
