  @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.

  i think about this whenever i catch myself hesitating on the next move. Elon Musk walked into the Netscape lobby to apply for a job. too shy to talk to anyone. walked out. never got it. got demoted twice at his first company. fired from PayPal mid flight to his own honeymoon. first three rockets exploded back to back. Tesla almost died on Christmas Eve. his childhood heroes testified against him to Congress. 30 years of public failure from a guy who is now the richest man in human history. i’ve built businesses across 27 countries. sat across from 9 figure operators. run two campuses inside the biggest educational platform in the world. and i still catch myself overthinking the next bet. the hesitation doesn’t go away at the next level. Tbh it can get more expensive. the deal you didn’t propose. the product you didn’t launch. the partnership you turned down. the event you keep pushing to next quarter. every level has its own version of walking into the Netscape lobby and being too shy to open your mouth. the difference between the guys who plateau and the guys who keep climbing is the same difference at every level. one moves before he’s ready. the other is still waiting for the fear to go away. it never goes away. move anyway.

  @DissentFu Boo hoo *****. Go out and fix Parkinson's with a brain chip, or invent a boring machine that makes tunnels. You could also invent PayPal, Twitter, and send tickets to space, but you're too stupid.

  So with everybody losing their minds, and trying to confirm, or getting insider information, all we know is: - Ninja Theory, Compulsion Games, and Double Fine may be the ones in danger of getting closed or spun off, with other potential studios being in danger. - Arkane Studios may or may not be at risk of getting closed. - Head of XBOX Game Studios Craig Duncan and Chief of Staff Louise O’Connor stepped down. - Treyarch Studio Head Mark Gordon stepped down. - Exclusives may or may not come back. - XBOX maybe getting a "Buy Now, Pay Later" system via partners like Klarna, PayPal, etc., for hardware, games, or accessories. Any other "maybe" I forgot to add? Because all we have now is speculation about events happening within XBOX.

  @CalvinMcgettig1 @jimiuorio Yeah - Hughesnet. DSL speeds at high cost. Woohoo. Tesla - MUSK created the company. Oddly, out of money he made from selling Paypal. Musk didn't create rockets - he made them reusable, which NASA, ULA and Boeing didn't bother thinking about. Brought cost of satellites to orbit down by an order of magnitude. Your other points? Wait - there aren't any, just blather.

  $ADBE is where $PYPL has been for years now, a cash generating juggernaut that, nonetheless, gets hammered into the ground, due to market perception that it has no moat, and won't be viable in the long run... This stock has always scared me just looking at it's Volume Profile Ranges, very thin support until it get's into the $100 range, which is where it could likely be headed............ Losing $250 at the Ascending Blue 2/1 Gann Fan Angle was significant, Longs were making a stand there, and I think that's where Michael Burry bought as well, if it could've recovered there, it would've likely hit $400 next, then the perfect storm of high jobs/inflation numbers, Iran War flaring up again, and SpaceX IPO sucking out all the liquidity in the Market killed off high Multiple SAAS stocks again, and all that was *BEFORE* Adobe earnings announced it's CFO was leaving.... Maybe the market was over-reacting following earnings, especially with how good the numbers actually were, who knows, if it can regain the $205 level on Monday, at it's 12-24-2018 daily low, perhaps the stock can experience an epic Dead Cat Bounce back to re-test $250. If it loses $205 though, $175 at the Ascending 3/1 Gann Fan Angle is next. My Bearish case scenario, is this sucker hits $75 at the bottom of it's Ascending Gann Fan Structure, where my finger Icon is pointing, it'll be similar to what happened with Paypal, the Short sellers are looking to break the stock below the Gann Fan bottom support, to trade significantly lower.... How much lower, you say....well, Strong Volume Support doesn't begin till Adobe hits $45, down to $30. Which seems impossible, but, gotta fund the Anthropic and OpenAI IPOs somehow, right?

  @shi_monalisa @PayPal Hi, Unfortunately while I'm not much up for conspiracies, You probably should've done a direct to card or bank transfer for your donations because apparently due to the Philippines having money laundering issues and general corrupt government, Paypal all but restricts any Pinoy+

  Outrageous (@impeach46please) reported 44 minutes ago

  I’m sick to death of people bitching about Elon Musk having a trillion dollars. The man didn’t steal it. He didn’t inherit it. He built multiple companies that literally changed the world — PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX. People love to scream about billionaires while driving around in cars, using their phones, and ordering things online — all technologies made possible by people who took huge risks and created massive value. If you’re mad that someone got insanely rich by making humanity multi-planetary and accelerating the shift to sustainable energy, then your problem isn’t with his money. Your problem is with success itself.

  The Zeno Report (@ZenoReport) reported 47 minutes ago

  @Spybef0rey0ubuy People are trolling and underestimating Mr. Burry way too much these days. They forget no matter people's opinion he's still a legendary Investor, Trader, and Contrarian Analyst. ADBE is a solid business which might be misunderstood by the market now but in a year the picture will paint itself. I don't personally like PayPal. One time I transferred $800 to my friend in Australia while visiting, and they charged me $60-70 in fees for it... So, from that moment I knew this business has a deep problem, and this happened in 2023 so no wonder the downfall.

  So, really not sure what happened this morning, but PayPal has decided to permanently deactivate my account. Even after providing information, screenshots, my ID, they've decided that it wasn't enough, and that it was shut down. This also included holding all money I have in it

  @Heccles94 Because he earned it. If you had been a cofounder of PayPal, the CEO of Tesla and the founder of SpaceX, you’d have a trillion dollars too. It isn’t a moral issue, and it isn’t complicated.

  Receiving USD in Maldives was never really the issue. BML might occasionally place a hold on incoming funds, but once you provide an invoice (genuine or fake), they release the money. The real challenge has always been sending USD abroad. Does PayPal solve that problem? No.

  Peter Luce (@krazyrabbi) reported 53 minutes ago

  @CTVNews Oh, Elon only succeeded because of “government help”? Spare us the tears. This is the same script they wheel out for any innovator who dares outperform the status quo. SpaceX didn’t get “handouts”—it won fixed-price contracts by actually delivering reusable rockets that slashed launch costs from $100M+ to pennies on the dollar. NASA was begging for alternatives after decades of Boeing/Lockheed grift and Shuttle disasters. That $1.6B? Earned through results, not cronyism. SpaceX now flies more missions than the rest of the world combined, rescues astronauts, and builds Starship while SLS burns billions in pork. Tesla’s $465M DOE loan? Repaid early with interest—unlike the solar flops and EV zombies that defaulted. EV tax credits? Buyer incentives that accelerated an industry Tesla invented from near-zero. Regulatory credits? That’s what happens when you disrupt dinosaurs too slow to meet standards they lobbied for. GM, Ford, and Chrysler got bailouts, tariffs, and endless subsidies for decades of mediocrity. Where’s their hit piece? Elon risked everything—near bankruptcy multiple times, sleeping on factory floors—while building PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, Boring, and xAI. CNN/CTV cherry-pick taxpayer “help” (which every major company navigates) but ignore the trillions in value created: reusable spaceflight, EVs forcing legacy auto to adapt, Starlink connecting remote communities, and pushing humanity multi-planetary. This isn’t journalism; it’s salty obituary for a dying narrative. Government didn’t make Elon. Elon exposed how inefficient government-dependent incumbents truly are. Cry harder, legacy media. The future isn’t subsidized by your tears. 🚀

  Elon Musk got rejected by Netscape. He walked into the lobby, was too shy to talk to anyone, and walked out. Never got the job. At his first company Zip2, the board demoted him. Twice. They refused to let him be CEO. He got fired from PayPal as CEO while flying to his own honeymoon. The board voted him out mid air. He almost died of malaria in 2000. Ten days in intensive care. Lost 45 pounds. A day from death. His first child died at 10 weeks old. His first rocket exploded. Falcon 1, flight one. Burned on the pad. His second rocket exploded. His third rocket exploded. The last of his money was nearly gone. Tesla nearly went bankrupt in 2008. The closest he ever came to a nervous breakdown. Both companies almost died on the same Christmas Eve. He was sued by investors. Mocked by the people who built cars before him. His childhood heroes, the astronauts who inspired him, testified against his company to Congress. The Cybertruck window shattered on live stage in front of the world. He overpaid for Twitter by his own admission and watched its value collapse. He was beaten unconscious as a child and thrown down a flight of stairs. He has said he goes to sleep alone and it kills him. He failed in public, over and over, for thirty years. He is the richest man in the history of the world. The difference was never the absence of failure. It was the refusal to stop after it.
