  A new Nigeria is POssible (@Play_Muziq) reported 2 minutes ago

  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.

  I was thinking about getting my commissions sorted out, and PayPal is giving me trouble rn so i'm deciding between Ko-fi and Vgen to open an account that allows for other payment methods. If any of my oomfs use either of those two, please give me your recommendations 🧐-

  @SarahisCensored We can get it shut down if you everyone contacts PayPal which they are using to get donations. With the proof you have it goes against the terms of service. Report it as fraudulent and show the funds are not intended for what it is stated. It will begin an investigation

  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. - 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.

  @RachelAzzara @mattyglesias Musk made a lot of money out of PayPal, then leveraged it building a scam empire based on spending a lot on tech, just ahead of the wave. When the wave catches up, his money-eating approach crashes, as Tesla is now going down before actual car-making businesses

  Kamohelo Kuaho, CXA™ (@KamoheloKuaho) reported 12 minutes ago

  Elon didn’t build trillion-dollar outcomes by rushing solutions. He framed the right problems first, then attacked them relentlessly. - PayPal (1999): Money moves too slowly and expensively for the internet age. Built frictionless digital payments. - SpaceX (2002): Humanity is one asteroid or nuke away from extinction. Made spaceflight reusable and affordable. - Tesla (2004): Fossil fuels are dooming the planet. Proved EVs could be desirable and inevitable. - Boring Company (2016): Cities choke on traffic. Built underground tunnel networks. - Neuralink (2016): Human brains can’t keep up with AI. Created high-bandwidth brain interfaces. - X (2022): Public conversation is censored and broken. Rebuilt it for maximum truth-seeking. - xAI (2023): AI lacks truth-seeking. Building AI to understand the universe. None of these industry-leading companies (or his rise to the richest man) happen with sloppy framing or unvalidated problems. Wrong problem = wasted genius. Right problem = compounding magic. Pre-execution work is just as (if not more) important as implementation. Validate the problem first, then build the solution. Here's to the next trillion and more.

  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.

  Disputely (@getdisputely) reported 22 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.

  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.

  a 19 year old in a dorm room is flashing a $7,200 paypal balance and telling you the world cup just started, except his own screen says fifa world cup 2026 i've been watching this one make the rounds. the hook is a kid in a black tee and a backwards cap, dollar store fan humming behind him, pointing at football shorts with 45M, 11M, 5M views and saying these print $1,000 to $15,000 each then he shows the trick > open claude, settings, connectors, paste the link, add > type "make me a crazy ad for world cup" > let it cook, get a 10s vertical clip, post it the clip on his screen looks real. a night stadium, full stands, broadcast lighting. the paypal balance under it reads "7200$" with the dollar sign in the wrong place, no comma, no cents the part he didn't mean to show is at 0:22, the claude panel quietly says kling 3.0, 9:16, 10s, audio. higgsfield is just a wrapper passing his prompt to someone else's model, and MCP is a free open protocol anthropic ships for anyone so the actual stack is claude, a free connector, and a few cents of kling credits per video. the $500 discord, the "comment AI" funnel, the dorm room flex, all of it sits on top of three things you can wire up yourself in an afternoon the world cup hasn't started. the funnel has

  @JustinD8787 @bluesinthe93266 You're not understanding this once again. You don't use your personal PayPal account. You use a gift card you buy through PayPal. Here's the step by step process: 1. Purchase the Code: Visit the official PayPal Digital Gift Cards CA marketplace. 2. Select the Store: Choose either the Apple Gift Card or the Google Play gift code matching your phone. 3. Pay & Redeem: Check out securely using your PayPal balance. You will receive a redemption code via email. 4. Load the Balance: Redeem the code in your mobile App Store or Google Play Store to clear a prepaid wallet balance. 5. Subscribe on X: Open the X app and complete your upgrade using your stored app store balance. This method provides complete anonymity. And the point remains that you don't have to link your personal credit card or PayPal account - you're just not creative enough to get around it. That's a you problem.

  @zuess05 Honestly? The old create a problem, offer a solution. Early days of PayPal, the embed code wasn't encrypted , so you could just grab the link, change the price to 0.01, and you got instant access to goods. Stole their product, proved it, and offered first IPN protection.

  @o_b_z_d_n @RaifYtinav @SwannMarcus89 He didn't have the capital, either. His first business was just him coding in an office where he lived with his bro, because they couldn't afford an apartment AND an office. Software coding genuinely generates value out of thin air. It's 100% a product of the mind. After he sold that business, he coded what later became PayPal. Then he sold that, and half of the proceeds went to starting Tesla and the other half went to SpaceX. If your goal is to become rich, you absolutely don't try to start a new car company or rocket company. At inception he figured those companies had a 10% chance of succeeding. He is actually pretty damned smart. He understands exactly what his engineers are doing and actively participates in their day-to-day troubleshooting and innovation. He hires other people to run the business. But the secret of his success is that he's a honey badger: relentless, fearless, never gives up. He's got an Aspie-level obsession with his projects. And his mind races constantly with problem/solution pairs. He's a hot mess in some ways, but he didn't get where he is through cheating, manipulation, and favoritism. He really did build that. I'm afraid that an attitude of "must be NICE to get $38B in gubmint contracts" is diagnostic for some forms of narcissism. It's unbecoming, a bad look.
