  @AlanKohler @abcnews Alan, some factual errors here. SpaceX and Tesla were formed separately from the proceeds of Elon’s sale of PayPal. SpaceX didn’t rely on the original Tesla Roadster to get going. The point of satellites in space isn’t that they are closer to the sun, but that they can be permanently in sunlight and with no atmospheric energy losses the solar panels can produce ~5x what they can on Earth (there is no need for batteries in these orbits). And in the near 0 K temperature in the vacuum of space, the radiative cooling is effective and also free. Thirdly, I think most retail investors are purchasing shares for long-term holds, rather than short-term pump-and-dump.

  Kazzab acting like he personally coded the PayPal integration overnight. 😭 Sit down @MMuizzu kid, you didn't do anything. Credit belongs to @OoredooMaldives.

  @xskinn O shoot! I've been wasting all afternoon, renewing all my direct debits, because a wretched merchant took money out when I hadn't authorised it. New card, change all direct debits, find out PayPal is down......****. This is our world now, isn't it...

  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

  @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

  Outrageous (@impeach46please) reported 22 minutes ago

  I’m sick to death of people bitching about Elon Musk having a trillion dollars. The man didn’t steal it. He didn’t inherit it. He built multiple companies that literally changed the world — PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX. People love to scream about billionaires while driving around in cars, using their phones, and ordering things online — all technologies made possible by people who took huge risks and created massive value. If you’re mad that someone got insanely rich by making humanity multi-planetary and accelerating the shift to sustainable energy, then your problem isn’t with his money. Your problem is with success itself.

  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.

  @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

  Well, @PayPal is holding back our account because of an unusual amount of transactions. At the current moment, we sadly can‘t take any more orders 😭 We‘re working as fast as possible to fix it..!

  Disputely (@getdisputely) reported 34 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.
