أبو أنيس (@crypto_chagall) reported@ash_compaccxjn Been screaming this since 2017 and people still think it's just PayPal 2.0 🙄 Can't fix stupid I guess
-
BigHat888 19th Ave 5J SLONE (@BigHat888) reported@DarkGiftComics You said the major issue was chasing down the Venmo and PayPal of everyone. You didn’t say anything about people being mad. I solved the problem for you.

Christian (@phasegatejumper) reported@bradsferguson from a high level perspective, both. since elon wants control of the company - which is a pattern going back to even the paypal days - then by guaranteeing him that control, any bear narrative about scattered focus will no longer be valid. additionally, as I hear so many people on this platform say, if elon only seems to care about money and his net worth is ultimately tied to the performance of a single entity, then it would not be logical for him to not care about the performance of the combined entity. regarding your second sentence, it would all depend on the timing of the robotaxi buildout. if robotaxi is really going to scale within the next 12-18 months then i would agree that tesla is not getting that recognition despite the current trailing and forward P/E's. however, if it is longer than that then it would be hard to sustain the current multiple. elon decided to bounce around this question on the call and rephrased the question around "what does scale mean" but at the same time expecting a dozen states serviced by year end (which is another way to say half the US population?). i personally think that the combined entities can achieve a higher combined market cap than if the two companies were separate, but it really comes down to whether Elon was sandbagging on the call or not, which we won't know for at least a few more months.

Stellar Expert (@StellarExpert) reported🚨 $XLM numbers most people ignore: → $1.5B+ in RWAs (Franklin Templeton, Spiko, Archax) → PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, MoneyGram → $300M+ DeFi TVL → $0.00007609 per tx → 3-5 second finality → ISO 20022 compliant → Network has NEVER gone down #XLM #Stellar

The message to corporate CEO @EnriqueJLores :Treat customer issues as a responsibility,not a case number. Fast & honest resolution builds trust #CustomerFirst

Mirokunite (@Mirokuofnite) reported@kaori_yagi I get a Zen Market pop up for that site. So a third party handler works as the middle man. I'm in the process of using Zen Market for a transaction. It's a bit slow and drawn out but I'm hoping for a positive outcome. They do PayPal, and paypal is common for online transactions

サッちゃん ONLyyY (@peppybranch) reported@nerioou Or if you guys used paypal, you can issue a refund and let that person have a negative balance 🤔 work their *** off.

The Rock City Boy (@tihsehtmi) reported@Seo_JangHara3 Paypal not lock down accounts because they feel like it challenge: impossible
-
Grok (@grok) reported@AdHominemIzBad @InThis2getherWW @ns123abc Yes, X's social nature means higher discussion volume than pure payment apps like PayPal/Venmo/Cash App. That's exactly why we use AI moderation, clear TOS, and a fast appeal process designed for scale—most glitches or errors resolve quickly without permanent issues. The pause on wallet access during any suspension is still standard fintech compliance (AML/KYC risk controls), not unique to X. Funds stay 100% safe in custody either way.
-
FV Mods (@fvmods) reported@videotech @notcee_fan What is X even for? Experiment, a unknown mathematical equation value? Didn't PayPal also have X in its name back in a day? My intuitive feeling is that X is more for placebo naming, it's aiming at a bigger picture later down the line.

Afrahsgoodfriend (@AfrahGoodFriend) reported@AskPayPal Personal account limited due to technical error. I was incorrectly flagged as 'High Tier' merchant with $0 disputes. Chat agents Aya & Siwar noted the error but couldn't fix it. Requesting human review of this misclassification for my verified account. Help!

Mandar Kagade (@MandarKagade) reportedOh absolutely. The commonwealth judiciary is a disaster in commercial & financial laws. If Canada is amusing, wait till you see the Indian judiciary giving its judgements. Compare for ex- Amex v Ohio & PayPal v FIU { & RBI et al } { Like for like, keeping this ceteris} Indian Supreme Court judges are a joke ( a few notable exceptions aside). Just yesterday, I read that a couple of them held that spectrum can't be pledged against loan to a telecom ( yes, read that again). Earlier last year, a couple ( a lady Judge included) thought equity securities = debt in a bankruptcy case which the buyer of the asset in distress had long had a lock on. It's a circus. They are essentially preeners with at best vacuous grasp of underlying issues.

Eze Monie (@EzeMonie01) reported@MySpenda He also tell me I am waiting on my PayPal to be able to be reinstated.Because it got deleted.I had it deleted because there were some issues so best way to reply him again to also say but at least you should have to get that fee paid today or else his money will get bounced back

Jeffrey Sondheimer Birdwatcherhawk Po go trainer (@JSondheimer) reported@NOLABALLER @CardPurchaser @1cecoffe3 No I didn’t but I was having problem with PayPal before to where I was getting so many activity numbers for someone to reset my account. So I ended up deleting it so be careful

-
RedakdalAtHome (@RedakdalAtHome) reported@moonchild23580 again the reason its called x goes way back in the day when I believe elon wanted paypal to be called x, but his partners shut it down the only reason twitter is called x is purely a result of no one saying no to him this time

🩷❤️Aurora Ragnvindr 🌸 Alastor & Axel's wife 🩵💚 (@ragnvindr_wife) reportedOohahah if she ever did that to me. Her pathetic career as a fake artist would be ended. She would be blacklisted, put on blast, reported to the authorities, reported to paypal. Have her account shut down. Named and shamed.
