Wasn't there a story of some guy who's Tesla order got cancelled after he blasted Elon Musk for not serving good enough food at some event? This reminded me of that story.
There's a point the article is trying to make but in my view the dinner story completely buries it. I don't know how the invitation looked like so I don't know if the author was right to expect a lavish meal. If it said "Please join me for a dinner" and there was no dinner then that sucks and he's a bad host and I would at least say "Hey, I was expecting food so can we at least order some pizza?"
If Thiel offered you a coffee, would you expect an expensive and fancy coffee just because he's rich? If he invited you to a chat at a local Starbucks, would you expect him to pay for the coffee? The article is full of entitlement and I wonder if it's warranted. "He's rich so he can afford it" is not a justification for one's inflated expectations.
