  Before the open, real quick. PayPal $PYPL popped 17% on a buyout report yesterday while the chips got dumped again, Micron $MU and SanDisk $SNDK down 8% plus. Two days straight of people ditching semis for deal news and cash flow. Does that keep going today, or do chips bounce? @tastyliveshow

  While everyone watched PayPal and chips today, SpaceX quietly did something worse: it broke below its $135 IPO price for the first time since debut, down to $132.15. Only 4% of the float trades. The lockup expiration is still ahead. $SPCX #SpaceX #IPO #Trading

  @gomipomi I’ve heard about that. I think it has to do with artists who make NSFW comms and PayPal attempting to crack down on it.

  Hey guys! Just had my paypal account get permanently disabled. I have no idea on why or how but they’re keeping all the money i’ve earned from my keychains for up to 180 days. Don’t worry keychains will still be sent out. And any payment problems are now fixed.

  @spectralcritter meanwhile DA points were always just 100 pts = $1, and you could transfer it to PayPal for a small fee (i think it was only another dollar usually) I never tried taking robux but it seems like way more trouble than its worth

  @True_Undead i can set up stripe on ko-fi which could alleviate the bulk of the issue since it won’t be wired thru paypal

  Overall, Qualitate’s panel backs Stripe’s strategic logic for the acquisition. Stripe already wins in the infrastructure layer, and $53B buys the checkout preference & consumer recognition that it hasn't been able to replicate (though it will also have to inherit the consumer/merchant upgrade issues that have been holding PayPal back). PayPal's board response is expected ~July 20th.

  Elon Musk is no Albert Einstein. Einstein published papers on Brownian motion, the photoelectric effect, special relativity, and E=mc². His general theory of relativity revolutionized physics. His works paved the way for GPS, smartphones, solar energy and nuclear power. Einstein was a vocal advocate for civil rights, education, and global peace. Musk built PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, X and xAI. But Musk is not an advocate for anything that would benefit the world. Instead, Musk highlights the need to avoid too much empathy. Musk raises the alarm regularly about low fertility. Despite the low fertility, albeit mainly in the Northern Hemisphere, Musk claims humans have to expand to Mars. In Musk's best known foray outside his companies, he headed up the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE shut down USAID, established by JFK in 1961. Before being shut down, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) was the largest funding agency for humanitarian and development aid worldwide. Elon Musk said "USAID is a ball of worms. There is no apple. And when there is no apple you just need to get rid of the whole thing. That’s why it’s got to go. It’s beyond repair,” He later posted, “We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. Could gone to some great parties. Did that instead.” A peer reviewed study in the Lancet provided a thorough counterfactual study of the impact of USAID over the preceding 21 years and a "what if" study examining the impact of shutdown to 2030. This finding indicates that 91,839,663 all-age deaths, including 30,391,980 in children younger than 5 years, were prevented by USAID funding over the 21-year study period. Forecasting models predicted that the current steep funding cuts could result in more than 14,051,750 additional all-age deaths, including 4,537,157 in children younger than age 5 years, by 2030. That's 2.34 times the 6,000,000 deaths in the Holocaust.

  @ValerieAnne1970 They ALL came out of DARPA. Every damn one of them. Staring with PayPal where 24 yr old Musk was inserted as CEO. He said his seed money came from a program for newspapers to track deliveries. Problem was they already had that themselves. It's all built on deception and lies and still is today.

  $PYPL at $60.50: A 28% Premium Can Still Be a Lowball Stripe and Advent’s reported $53 billion offer looks generous only because PayPal’s starting price is broken. The real question is who gets paid for the turnaround if it works. The wrong anchor PayPal entered the takeover report worth roughly $42 billion after losing more than 40% over the previous year. Its market value exceeded $280 billion in 2021, but that peak is not a serious valuation anchor today. Neither is a historic-low share price produced by slowing branded checkout, execution misses, and collapsing investor confidence. Based on current-year adjusted earnings guidance, $60.50 works out to only about 11–12x earnings. That is not an aggressive control multiple for a platform with 439 million active accounts, $464 billion of quarterly payment volume, $1.7 billion of first-quarter adjusted free cash flow, and more cash and investments than debt. The discount is deserved First-quarter non-GAAP operating margin fell 229 basis points, active accounts were effectively flat sequentially, and adjusted EPS is guided between a low-single-digit decline and roughly flat for 2026. Enrique Lores only took over in March, and he has not proved that splitting PayPal into three businesses will revive checkout growth or repair the technology platform. That execution risk deserves a discount. It does not justify handing the entire recovery option to the buyer. The second-order read Stripe and Advent have reportedly lined up around $50 billion of financing, suggesting this is more than casual price discovery. They are trying to buy PayPal before the cost reset, operating simplification, and reinvestment appear in reported numbers. Lores is targeting at least $1.5 billion of savings over two to three years, with those funds intended to support growth. William Blair’s Andrew Jeffrey said the opening bid could move toward $70, and even that would be only about 13–14x PayPal’s current adjusted earnings range. That is a defensible negotiation level, not a heroic valuation. The board is not choosing between $60.50 and the old $300 share price. It is choosing between certainty now and PayPal’s probability-weighted value after the turnaround has had time to work. Bottom line: $60.50 is a credible opening bid, but unless diligence reveals deeper structural decay, it pays shareholders for recent pain—not fairly for PayPal’s recovery upside.
