  So @PayPalUK @PayPal have let a scammer who was able to infiltrate their system including SMS to take 797£ out of my nominated bank account. I have tried three times to raise the case and each time they say it’s a legitimate transaction. Terrible service from @PayPalUK

  @SparkysTech That's terrible, did PayPal actually give you any concrete reason for freezing or limiting your account? @AskPayPal

  @KaranSharma1008 @Prayag_Krishna Why do you have problem with money? That guy is the richest man on this planet. Will he have shortage of money? He created money by launching PayPal and selling it for millions. Then investing in Tesla then owning it, then creating spaceX and other things. Where did he cheat?

  Most people meet Elon Musk at the outcome and completely miss the origin story. At 12, he coded and sold a video game (Blastar). As a young founder, he built Zip2, got acquired, then helped create PayPal only to be pushed out before its biggest moment. Instead of playing it safe, he put nearly everything back on the line: pouring his own money into SpaceX and Tesla, Inc. when both were burning cash and on the edge of failure. In 2008, rockets were exploding, Tesla was weeks from collapse, and he was down to his last reserves choosing between keeping one company alive or letting both go. Most would’ve folded. He doubled down. That same persistence later powered reusable rockets landing themselves and made electric vehicles unavoidable. This wasn’t luck. It wasn’t smooth. It was pressure, risk, doubt and a refusal to stop building. He didn’t begin as unstoppable. He became unstoppable by staying in the fight longer than anyone expected. Start where you are. Stay longer than it’s comfortable. Build anyway. 🚀

  @nicawlette Unfortunately we no longer have PayPal as we were having too many issues with it, as well as the fact that you can only have PayPal business on big cartel. Although we have many other new payment methods such as klarna and clear pay!

  Getting paid online is stressful—fees, delays, PayPal issues. Tried @looftapaytoday. Create a payment link in seconds, get paid from different chains/tokens, and receive what you choose. No wallet needed. Username = payment address. Private payments powered by @magicblock

  This is beyond brilliant - and all too, accurate. "Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube? Hulu? Ads followed by more ads. Netflix full of ads. Meta and X, every other thing is an ad. Pinterest is nothing but ads. AI is in everything. AI finishes sentences incorrectly and won’t stop. AI reads your email and search history to target you with more ads. Every time you open an app or visit a site there’s an update making it worse. In a hurry?

Oh sorry, your phone can’t handle this update. Now it’s useless. Go get the newest phone. Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area.

Allow the app to access your contacts, know your precise location, store your credit card details. Oops, sorry, we got hacked now all that info is available on the web. There’s a class action suit. You can join. It’ll take a decade to get your $3.73 share of the ten billion settlement. We’ll send it via PayPal or deposit it to your bank, just tell us those details. Oh no, another hack. That info is circulating now, too. Here’s a spam call, a spam email, a spam text. Why are you angry? Why are you talking about getting rid of your phone? Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???"

  @skdh What if pigeon ran away with your money 🤔 PayPal was supposed to fix all this, too bad Elon ambitions were too much for that time board.

  @AranTheLichKing That sounds fine if you are using the account for actual business/creator purposes: streaming income, tips, commissions, invoices, merch, services, etc. The issue is not “having a PayPal Business account.” The issue is treating it like a name privacy shield while using it however you want. So yes, using a creator/business name like “Aran The Lich King” may be fine for branding. But when tax season comes, the income still needs to be properly tracked and reported to the correct tax authority. If you are audited and you have been hiding income, mixing personal and business activity badly, or withholding information from tax authorities, that can become a serious problem fast.

  $PYPL This is ultimately why I sold PayPal It wasn’t the valuation it’s because I lost faith in the *** after they axed Alex Chriss Diego Scotti and Michelle Gill were probably the highest achieving execs during Alex’s leadership Diego did amazing things with Venmo and Michelle managed to inflect SMBs back to growth I do not think it’s coincidental that they have departed As time goes on it seems more and more likely PayPal is going to be broken up and sold for parts It will probably work out ok for shareholders but it’s a painful reminder of what PayPal could have been if it was managed correctly and not neglected to the point of deterioration under Schulman I don’t think it would have mattered who the CEO was who took over in 2023, it was destined to fail. Nobody knew the full extent of the damage under the hood I also suspect there is an entrenched corporate culture there which is obstructive towards innovation and meaningful change A real shame
