Which one? There were a couple of them weren't there? Peter Thiel and Max Levchin. Elon Musk is also mentioned as a founder.

Anything he darn well wants, anywhere he wants to.
Actually, my guess is that he is heading a new startup, trying to repeat his success in another area. It will take him a long time to realize, as the founders of Lotus, Netscape, Paul Allen, etc. did, that one successful blockbuster idea is all that most humans can expect in a lifetime.

Elon Musk has had 2 startup sucesses. He sold Zip2 to Altavista in 1999 for $307 million and his share of paypal was worth $165 million when ebay bought that company.
His new startup is called SpaceX and is a launch vehicle provider for low altitude satellites.
