Artist in residence (@artyfarty75) reported@wariocolosseum Musk was born in 1971. He first appeared on the Forbes Billionaires List in 2012 (around age 41) with ~$2 billion net worth.  He made significant money earlier: ~$180 million from the PayPal sale in 2002 (age ~31), but it took further successes with Tesla and SpaceX for him to solidly reach billionaire status. The “40 years” rounds up from birth but overlooks that meaningful wealth accumulation accelerated in his 30s–40s through entrepreneurship, not a slow linear grind.  Now he is making $1 BILLION every 15 minutes from SpaceX stock moves alone.”Exaggerated but directionally illustrative of recent volatility. Musk’s net worth hit ~$1.3 trillion as of June 17, 2026. This is paper wealth tied to stock price fluctuations, not realized cash income. It can (and does) go down. This post reflects the polarised online discourse from people spreading misinformation or partial truths, exaggerated by the misinformed.

Creative Deduction (@CreativeDeduct) reportedElon Musk didn’t get rich by accident, by luck or by fraud. He got rich through entrepreneurship and ingenuity, and by taking enormous risks. The picture is Musk staring at the wreckage of another exploded Falcon 1 rocket, the third to fail on launch. In 2008, Musk was borrowing money from friends to pay his rent, going through a divorce, SpaceX was running out of cash, and to add to the misery, Tesla was at risk of missing payroll and going bankrupt. Down to his last $40 million of the $180 million he made from selling PayPal, Musk decided on one last roll of the dice and poured his remaining capital into a fourth launch on September 28, 2008. This time it worked. The rocket successfully reached orbit. Weeks later, SpaceX was awarded a $1.6 billion contract from NASA. A few months later, Tesla secured crucial investment to commence production of the original Tesla Roadster. "I gave both SpaceX and Tesla a probability of less than 10% likely to succeed," Musk later said. Musk could have taken a salaried job and never pursued entrepreneurship. He could have pocketed his PayPal millions and sat on a beach for the rest of his life. Instead, he risked it all and it paid off in a spectacular way, not just for him. His groundbreaking companies have given consumers new and better products and created 1000s of well-paid jobs. SpaceX alone has made more than 4,000 former and current employees Dollar millionaires. It also made Musk the world’s first Dollar trillionaire. His detractors tell you his wealth is undeserved. The truth is that when exceptional individuals like Musk run risks that may seem unacceptable to most of us, society progresses and we all gain. Instead of chastising success, we should take inspiration from people like Elon Musk. Next time you think of giving up, remember this picture.

3ll3_Wood5 (@simbaha18) reported@ImBreckWorsham So true but I can one up you. I was trying to get a refund for a warranty issue on a keyboard I got my son. The only way they will send the refund is through PayPal. It’s like they are trapped in 2000 and can’t let it go.

PeterPayFi (@PeterPayFi) reportedShe wasn't alone. Across Southeast Asia we kept meeting the same person — different country, different job, same problem. A nurse in Manila sending money home to her family. A developer in Ho Chi Minh City waiting on a US client payment. A freelancer in Bangkok juggling Wise, PayPal, and a local bank just to get paid. All of them losing time. All of them losing money. Every single month.

Rephormed Nationalist (@AntonTwerkovitz) reported@MatthewParrott JD Vance is a stand-in for Theil, Palantir, PayPal mafia, etc. He doesn't have sensible positions because he doesn't have any actual positions beyond what benefits the aforementioned parties and/or gets him elected. It comes down to how you feel about his backers, mentors, etc.

Arushad Ahmed (@dash8x) reported7/ Conclusion: The current PayPal x mFaisa collab is not solving the actual problem faced by creators as it's still not providing PayPal merchant services. It's just enabling using mFaisa with PayPal and allowing to receive personal payments from international PayPal accounts.

Neville Thumbcatch (@NThumbcatch) reportedSerious question... Has PayPal ALWAYS been this ******* ****? Locked out of my account for 24 hours. Rang the helpline - 'Sorry, there's nothing we can do, we're having issues with our system.' A score of 1.3 on Trustpilot seems generous.

He lives for getting locked out,

Richard Moreland (@Regiemental) reported@codeofvets @PayPal @stripe You are most welcome. I am so sorry that Paypal has let you down so badly, but hopefully Stripe will be more than an adequate replacement; so that your work doesn’t get interrupted again. PayPal needs to review its policies and they should think first before doing things.

Crypto Update IO 🚀 (@cryptoupdate_io) reported@XLERBonX @TheBitcoin__ Banks and fiat control is why Bitcoin exists. But don’t expect Visa or PayPal to disappear—they’ll just adopt crypto to stay relevant. The real fix? Peer-to-peer, uncensorable money. The rest is ju...
