Just Bob (@voip_91) reported@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.

Kevin Kershner (@kevinkershner) reported@wariocolosseum Sir, the federal government already spends $5.3 trillion--every year trying to fix that stuff. Second, starting 3 wildly successful companies (PayPal, Tesla, and SpaceX) would be why he has triple the wealth of those people who created one successful com

Artist in residence (@artyfarty75) reported@wariocolosseum Musk was born in 1971. He first appeared on the Forbes Billionaires List in 2012 (around age 41) with ~$2 billion net worth.  He made significant money earlier: ~$180 million from the PayPal sale in 2002 (age ~31), but it took further successes with Tesla and SpaceX for him to solidly reach billionaire status. The “40 years” rounds up from birth but overlooks that meaningful wealth accumulation accelerated in his 30s–40s through entrepreneurship, not a slow linear grind.  Now he is making $1 BILLION every 15 minutes from SpaceX stock moves alone.”Exaggerated but directionally illustrative of recent volatility. Musk’s net worth hit ~$1.3 trillion as of June 17, 2026. This is paper wealth tied to stock price fluctuations, not realized cash income. It can (and does) go down. This post reflects the polarised online discourse from people spreading misinformation or partial truths, exaggerated by the misinformed.

Nyuyu ☁️🍭 VGen Artist 🌸 (@Nyuyu____) reported@Flip_Uni @xCookieHana Awww thank you!!!

Ajay Rajput (@iamapsrajput) reportedWhat the hell is going on with @PayPalIN? I received an email asking me to do KYC, so I started uploading my documents. Now, out of the blue, I got an email that said, "You can no longer use PayPal. After a review, we decided to permanently limit your account, as we found potential risk associated with it." Not sure which risk they are talking about. In the last one, I used that for making payments for domain registration on Hostinger and other websites; now, how the hell is that a risk for @PayPal? Only they can tell. Looks like everything is happening because of AI agents. No one defines the criteria clearly, and everything is running like that. Anyway, not having a PayPal account cannot cause me any issues, so enjoy your stupid service. #paypal #stupidservice #dumbservice

TDS Therapist (@fl_trump2020) reported@codeofvets Gretchen I just tried to PayPal and it said there was an error. Can you dm Zelle info? @codeofvets

Free Thinker Tori (@FreeThinkerTori) reported@SarahisCensored @JinxedRealityX She has a PayPal pool up now and PayPal won’t let me report it, and when I try and escalate their “Report Pool” button not working, their AI bot won’t let me go farther.

Rogue Hillbilly (@From_The_Hills_) reported@codeofvets @PayPal PayPal is straight trash. I had an account for years with no issues, then about 5 years ago they suspended my account and said they needed access to my email and social media accounts to continue. I told em to eat a bag of *****.

Brian Rose, Founder & Host of London Real (@LondonRealTV) reportedCONGRESS 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.

Trocantor (@trocantor) reported@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?
