  @OldGloryBank @johnrich Is there any sort of service you guys have or can create to help her. She's always used PayPal in the past, however I suspect like everything else now days her problem is being caused by an AI.

  🚨ELON MUSK'S BROTHER SOLD HIS COMPANY FOR $307 MILLION AT 26.. THEN GAVE UP TECH COMPLETELY TO COOK FOR FIREFIGHTERS IN THE RUBBLE OF 9/11.. THIS IS THE MUSK NOBODY TALKS ABOUT.. Most people only know Kimbal Musk as Elon's younger brother.. But his actual life path makes almost no sense on paper.. In 1989, at 17, he left South Africa for Canada with almost no money.. He paid his way through university running a house-painting franchise.. And won manager of the year doing it.. Then in 1995 he moved to Palo Alto with Elon and they started Zip2.. An online city guide and mapping company, years before Google Maps existed.. They were broke.. They slept on the office floor and showered at the local gym.. To impress investors, they built a giant fake casing around a normal PC to make it look like a supercomputer.. In 1999 Compaq bought Zip2 for $307 million.. Kimbal, at 26, walked away with around $22 million.. He could have done anything.. Retired.. Started another tech company.. Coasted on the PayPal and Tesla fortunes that were coming.. Instead he enrolled in culinary school in New York to become a chef.. His timing was brutal.. He graduated in 2001.. Right as 9/11 happened.. He lived steps from the World Trade Center.. So he grabbed his new skills and spent six weeks cooking for firefighters and rescue workers at Ground Zero.. 10 to 12 hour days in the wreckage.. Feeding the people pulling bodies from the rubble.. He said that experience changed everything.. Watching exhausted workers find comfort in a shared meal convinced him that food was his actual life's purpose.. He moved to Colorado and started building farm-to-table restaurants that sourced straight from local farmers.. Then in 2010 came the second turning point.. He broke his neck in a tubing accident and was temporarily paralyzed for three days.. He called it a near-death experience.. And it pushed him even harder into his mission.. He started a nonprofit that built outdoor learning gardens in hundreds of underserved schools.. Reaching hundreds of thousands of kids.. He co-founded an urban farming company growing food inside shipping containers in cities.. Each one producing the equivalent of two acres of farmland.. And then in 2022 he did the strangest pivot yet.. When Intel decided to shut down its light-drone division, Kimbal bought the whole thing.. 9,000 drones and the engineering team.. Now his company flies massive drone shows that act as pixels in the sky.. Including over 3,000 drones above St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican.. Recreating Renaissance art in the night sky.. One brother is trying to colonize Mars and build humanoid robots.. The other made his fortune in the same rooms.. Then spent the next 25 years on something almost nobody expected.. Feeding people, teaching kids to grow food, and turning the sky into art.. Same beginning.. Completely different definition of what to do with a fortune.

  CONGRESS BANS THE FED FROM THE DIGITAL DOLLAR RACE The Senate voted 89-10. No government digital dollar until 2030. The ban is explicit: The Federal Reserve cannot issue or create a CBDC - directly or through intermediaries - for at least four years. The stablecoin market hit $319 billion in April 2026. USDT sits at $189.6B. USDC at $77.6B. Stablecoins processed $46 trillion in transaction volume in 2025 - 20x PayPal, nearly 3x Visa. Circle and Tether now own this market. No government competitor until 2030. The policy context matters. The GENIUS Act was signed into law in July 2025 - the first comprehensive federal framework for dollar-backed stablecoins. Congress didn't stop there. It then banned the Fed from competing with them entirely. Since the GENIUS Act passed, daily stablecoin transaction volumes soared from $1 trillion to $4 trillion. Circle vs. Tether: diverging paths. USDC was already compliant before the law passed - 1:1 T-bill backing, institutional custody, monthly attestations. Tether launched USAT in January 2026 as a separate U.S.-compliant stablecoin through Anchorage Digital Bank. Global USDT stays outside the U.S. framework. The bottom line. Washington isn't just tolerating private stablecoins. Treasury Secretary Bessent has confirmed a U.S. digital dollar remains "off the table." Policy is actively choosing private over government. And it's locked in for four years.

  @codeofvets @GretchenPSmith @PayPal How does PayPal even stay in business? With all of the problems people have faced with them especially the hacked accounts, and all of the fraudulent messages, it’s hard to believe that they have much of a customer base anymore. Haven’t used them in years, and never again.

  Stock Pick of the Week: Paypal $PYPL The setup: a profitable, net-cash payments giant the market has left for dead. still did $464B in total payment volume last quarter (+11% YoY) and $8.35B revenue (+7%). Pay-with-Venmo volume grew 34%. Not a broken business, just an out-of-favor one.

  @horanera honestly i think it probably comes down to experience of knowing what tickets look like etc but obviously ask for screen recordings (check if the time matches current time) and screenshots of tickets/email and ONLY use paypal g&s (if they don’t wanna it’s a scam)

  @Xmusknewsx You act as if Elon is Scrooge McDuck, squirreling away his money in a mattress. He's not. His worth is in holdings — like a house — **not** in raw cash. The value of his holdings would shrink bigly were he to start selling them for cash. He's using his money, investing it in various business enterprises, which includes providing jobs for his employees and all those other folks who provide him with services and supplies. If your ideological approach were applied to his PayPal success, we wouldn't have Tesler cars, Starlink or other of his projects. Nor would the people he employed to build, supply, are employed by or provide services to, his projects have benefitted. Those people, in turn, keep the economy flourishing by buying food, clothes, cars, insurance, & etc. Is this process something you really what to shut down? Would you rejoice were Musk and his entrepreneurial proclivities stopped by PayPal taxes?

  The difference between Elon Musk and many of his critics is that everything Elon Musk has was given voluntarily, while his critics rely on coercion to get what they want. People chose to place their wealth in Elon's ventures. They looked at what he did and contributed because it looked good. Then it turned out that the products worked very well. Most of the companies are also doing things that haven't been done before. They are expanding the possibilities for human life on Earth and beyond. They have been providing massive value to a wide range of people. For instance, Tesla is a win-win: an American company with American manufacturing jobs that makes highly-rated cars people love, while at the same time reducing reliance on fossil fuels. People will say that his companies have used government contracts, loans, and programs. Nobody should deny the importance of government. But nobody would be buying the products if they were bad. Musk never forced these programs that he benefitted from on anybody. They were available and he made the best possible use of them. He could have abandoned innovating after Paypal but instead he chose to put that money into further ventures. His net worth is derived from his own risk-taking and dreams that other people decided were worthwhile investments. His critics, on the other hand, would use the power of the state to force money to be taken and moved to other, much less productive purposes. In doing so, no value will be created and much will be lost. Even more importantly, the attacks reveal a staggering ingratitude and stupidity. Here's a guy we stumbled upon who created a bunch of companies that actually make real stuff,stuff that's never been made before so well and at this scale, and they do much of it in America. While I acknowledge that lawmakers might accidentally fund some future innovator like Musk with their schemes, what kind of message do they send to such people when they denigrate a man like Elon Musk? They are not simply arguing that we as a society should look at the issue of inequality. They are displaying a stunning lack of common sense and economic illiteracy in the assumption that the world is zero-sum, that the money should simply be "re-directed" to alleviate social problems. They send a very clear message that success on the level that Musk has achieved will not be tolerated. They want their goals exactly as they want them and without any dissenting views, as Musk is known for having.

  @vexmlk @PayPal have everyone who has ever given you money issue a chargeback to paypal. Tell them to say that their funds have been withheld and are being prevented from reaching their intended destination, and most banks/cards will allow it.

  @codeofvets @PayPal This is why I shut down my account years ago when they announced their new policy of basically "if we suspect you of anything or just don't like you we will close your account and fine you $1,200 completely at our discretion. There will be no appeal process so don't even ask."

  The theme across Peter Thiel's career is exit. Banking broken? PayPal. Intelligence broken? Palantir. Startup funding too slow? Founders Fund. Public square too noisy? Dialogue. The pattern is not subtle.

  @dedes016 @ZakariaMDv3 @KKaaRRii2 They used to send me a PayPal invoice but they won’t do anymore. Last time I had to join PayPal’s XOOM app and it lets you wire funds directly to their bank in India $$. It sounds complicated but not really. The sellers are super polite and can text in English no problem.
