140 characters is as good as flying cars (and maybe better)

Peter Thiel is the MAN. I can’t deny that. He’s long been saying all kinds of really cool stuff. Though, I think some of his most highly-cited beliefs have issues:
“We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters.”- Peter Thiel
Flying makes communication easier, so does 140 characters. Straw man.
“Tell Me Something That’s True But Nobody Agrees With”-Peter Thiel
Flying cars have long been in sci-fi novels, so everybody believes in that. 140 characters is something nobody believed in! Contradiction.
Why do we need flying cars?
