  @NYCMayor @Jonathan_K_Cook How many people became a millionaire thanks to him? also you dummies act like he’s got that much money in some vault like Scrooge McDuck!! And he goes swimming in it .. it’s all ******* in stock that if he went to sell all of it would crash the price.. why are you people all so dumb? Do you know the ***** it took for him to spend all $500 million that he made from PayPal on this company.. and they came down to their last rocket launch and if it had failed he would’ve went broke. Do you have that kind of ***** my man, I’d seriously doubt it. This is the payoff of having them type of *****… don’t be jealous of it.. try and do it!

  @xskinn O shoot! I've been wasting all afternoon, renewing all my direct debits, because a wretched merchant took money out when I hadn't authorised it. New card, change all direct debits, find out PayPal is down......****. This is our world now, isn't it...

  That said, your daughter is texting her body—probably **** by statistics—to her boyfriend. Sorry … 🙏💔 Social media is personal. We choose to be anonymous when we want to deceive. We give the government our ID, and even airlines require a picture of our ID and face scan when we check in for a flight online. PayPal does too. Just did it yesterday. The distrust lies more in the terrible justice system in the UK—prison for posts…

  U.S TROOPS🇺🇲 (@Ustroopss) reported 16 minutes ago

  On the same day Elon Musk became the first trillionaire in human history New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani announced he wants to tax billionaires like Musk to fund his agenda. Here is what that argument misses entirely. Elon Musk did not inherit a trillion dollars. He built Zip2 from scratch. He reinvested into PayPal. He bet everything on Tesla and SpaceX when both were on the verge of collapse. He slept on factory floors. He nearly went bankrupt in 2008. He kept building when the world laughed at him. That is not luck. That is capitalism working exactly as intended. The idea that the moment someone succeeds the government’s first instinct should be to take more of what they earned is exactly why entrepreneurs leave high tax states and cities in the first place. New York is already losing residents faster than almost any state in America. Threatening to tax the people who create jobs and drive innovation is not a solution. It is the problem. Congratulations to Elon Musk. The first trillionaire. Built not given.

  @Joffan7 For Zip2, he was using a Palo Alto dataset that was literally built by, maintained by, and given from the government. For PayPal, there was literally lobbying and legal work to get the online payment services to be allowed. The entire point is that the government gating allowed Elon and didn't allow, for instance, you. Without that government gating, PayPal doesn't become the ONLY option for a decade, so eBay buying it doesn't suddenly make $180M for Elon, which means the businesses he starts AFTERWARD don't exist in the same way. For both Tesla and SpaceX, government regulations have kept people from competing in those spaces. Elon's money allowed him through the gate so that he could play in the first place. The entire POINT is that the taxation and regulation by government has led to Musk's trillion. Without the government choosing winners and losers, Musk never becomes a trillionaire. Hell, the value of the dollar doesn't ALLOW a trillion dollars. Inflation has been 33.85x since 1913 (beginning of the Fed). The GDP of *Earth* was $111T in 2024. The entire POINT is that the "billionaire issue" comes from the government destroying our money system and choosing who's allowed to even PLAY in the market. They chose Musk. Now Musk has a shitload of <heavily devalued> money.

  @AskPayPal Bought on eBay via PayPal (Citi card) on June 2 and cancelled right away. PayPal shows refund issued, but after 14 days it's still not on my Citi card. Direct Citi payment refunds appear instantly. Why is PayPal so slow??? Never using it again. 😤

  Zelle pushed $1 trillion last year and not one cent of it ever crossed a border. That's about to change, and the rail they picked isn't the one anybody would've bet on five years ago. A stablecoin. Early Warning Services, the bank consortium that runs Zelle, is starting with India. Obviously. No country on earth pulls in more remittance money, north of $100 billion a year, and a huge slice of it gets wired out of the US. So what carries it over? Not ACH, not SWIFT. Something called ZLUSD, dollar-backed, built specifically for the international hop. And the thing I keep circling back to has nothing to do with the tech. It's who owns this. Zelle is the bank-owned network. The entire reason it exists is that the big US banks watched Venmo and PayPal eat into retail payments and decided they weren't giving up the rest of the table too. Those banks. The same consortium. They quietly went and decided a stablecoin is the cheaper way to push a dollar across a border. Now remember how many years these institutions spent telling everyone crypto rails were a solution looking for a problem. The problem was cross-border the whole time. Fees, delays, three intermediaries stacked on top of each other, sitting right under their nose. They just couldn't admit it out loud while wire transfers were still printing money for them. Cameron Fowler, who runs EWS, framed it as an expansion of what Zelle already does. Technically true, sure. But nobody reaches for a stablecoin when the old plumbing is doing fine. Which stablecoin ends up winning the corridor was never the interesting question. The banks picking one up at all is. They followed the cheaper rail.

  @McFaul A person can INVEST a billion dollars. How do you think Elon was able to get SpaceX and Tesla up and running? It is hard to remember, but NO ONE was willing to take on the RISK in those ideas. Those Paypal billions could have gone down the drain. Lefties never think of risk.

  Bro assumes landing PayPal is being ahead of the digital age and conveniently ignores the very fact that buying, paying for/ subscription to anything online is impossible. Approaching 21st century problems with 18tj century ideas and tools. 🤮

  //GHOST DANCE// (@YAKOKE_ACTUAL) reported 38 minutes ago

  Greetings everyone who hasn’t blocked or muted this account. @skoonrB here with an update. I was on the road all last week and the patches arrived while I was away from home, thus why I’m posting this update today. I received 155 patches, a mix of Ghost Dance, Scalper, Wind Talker and Dream Stalker. Much less than the 400+ subscribers. Some of you that are still here might actually want a patch, so the thought is if you were a Ghost Dance subscriber, comment below. In a week I will have Grok select 155 people and send them out, after cross referencing the subscriber list. To be fair if you want to enter for a patch then you should exclude yourself from requesting comms or kit, when and if we ever receive those. Radios are supposedly in route and those will go out to people that responded to the former post where people requested comms gear. We don’t have a clear number of how many there are but it will be made public once we get a count. Med kits, the only ones I know of are the two I have sent by anonymous person, those also will go out to two people on the Medicine Man list. Money. First transfer of funds has been sent to one of the members of former leadership. $3,769.16 was transferred to their PayPal account. This will be used for shipping of patches and comms gear / kit once received.  Once everything goes out any money left over will be split between several charities or organizations, to be decided by poll later. The subscriptions appear to have been cancelled last week, and from my understanding X and the party they use for payments hold the funds for up to three months. So three months from now we hopefully have all sent out and have our hands clean of this entire messy situation. Final note, all PII is on a secure Proton server and not held on any personal devices. Once all gear is sent out, all data will be deleted from the spreadsheets, then me and the other person who has access will delete our Proton accounts. ** Please just reply to this message if you were a subscriber and you want a patch. Thank you Bryan

  Disputely (@getdisputely) reported 55 minutes ago

  There is a version of ecom failure nobody talks about publicly. Not a bad product. Not a failed ad account. Not an inventory disaster. A merchant account termination. The brand is profitable. The product works. Customers are happy overall. But the chargeback ratio crept past 1% over several months and nobody was watching it closely enough. The processor sends a warning. Then another. Then terminates. Overnight, the brand cannot process cards. Shopify Payments is gone. Stripe is gone. PayPal is restricted. The only options left are high-risk processors charging 3 to 5% transaction fees with 10 to 15% rolling reserves held for 6 months. That is what a chargeback problem actually costs at its worst. But here is the thing most people miss in the middle of it. The ratio does not have to cross 1% to cause damage. Visa's monitoring program flags merchants at 0.9%. Mastercard's starts at 1% but begins informal flagging earlier. Processors have their own internal thresholds below the card network limits. A brand sitting at 0.7% can still find themselves in a conversation with their processor about account stability. The damage does not start at the warning. It starts months earlier, quietly, while the rate is climbing and nobody is running a system to stop it. Disputely prevents chargebacks before they are filed. Wins the ones that go through. And keeps the ratio visible in real time so there are no surprises. The brands that avoid this problem entirely are not lucky. They built infrastructure around a metric most people ignore until it becomes a crisis.

  @RoKhanna Ro, you're a multi centi-millionaire. Your worth more today (not adjusted for inflation) than Elon was when he sold PayPal, and on his road to becoming a trillionaire, he nearly went bankrupt several times. Dont you think you could take say 100 million of your own money and start a for profit business that uses innovative technology to solve those problems? How do we make food cheaper but good quality? How do we make healthcare cheaper, but good quality? How do we make childcare affordable, but good quality? Education...etc. etc. Elon started out with ~ 150 million and 2 dreams: decarbonize transportation (which everyone told him was impossible) And make life multiplanetary. Which is at least two orders of magnitude more pie in the sky than building viable electric cars. Both of these ideas, when posited in the very very early 2000s sounded more insane than the entrepreneurial endeavor I suggested that you embark on above. So I have faith that you will be able to achieve it. There is never ever any need to take from others to solve problems.
