An often forgotten aspect here is that they waited to out him until he was in Saudi Arabia

he's rich they aren't going to do anything to him. hell they probably traffic for him

We dont have to speak in future tense as if this is speculation, he was fine. But the deliberation involved in his outing i feel is important in understanding the motivations of both parties.

Thiel was outed as a way to taunt him (Motivated in part by his support of open homophobic politicians), and he was angry because they had used his sexuality to threaten his life.

The timeline where Gawker got Peter Thiel executed by the Saudis would be an improvement

i meant to connote that expecting or worrying that they'd do something to him at the time was unreasonable.

i give zero shits about the anger of traitors for any reason.
