Mike Boysen (JTBD/acc) (@mikeboysen) reportedMost people never see the inversion coming. They see the crash. The coup. The empty bank account. The factory that will not ship. Then they analogize: more staff, more robots, more of last year’s stack. Innovators do the opposite. They stay in the problem until the cost curve breaks. PayPal ousted Musk in 2000 for pushing a rebrand and a Unix-to-Windows NT migration. He did not wage a public war. He stayed a shareholder. eBay paid $1.5 billion in 2002. His ~11.7% stake — about $180 million — funded SpaceX and Tesla. By late 2008 both companies were days from death. Three Falcon 1 failures. Tesla about to miss payroll. One last rocket. Flight 4 worked on September 28. NASA signed $1.6 billion in December. He put his remaining cash into a $20 million Tesla bridge that closed Christmas Eve. Analogical thinking said “stop.” Physics said “one more launch.” Reusable first stages. Manual labor where the robots jammed. 5,000 Model 3s a week after he ripped out the over-automated line and slept on the floor. 75% of Twitter’s headcount gone so the cost of running the network inverted. That is not grit as a slogan. That is inverting labor, capital, and infrastructure until unit economics work. Follow people who have innovated at least once. Not the ones narrating the next analog. I built a platform to help average people think like that before you commit the capital. More on that soon. This is 100% a real interview LOL

Mr. NoPony (@NoPonySpecial) reported@Mokona_VT I got a notification from PayPal that they were delivered I didn't even know they were shipped at all. But now I have a problem with mine watching me sleep after eating on my Gumbies just normal gumbies.

GrapheneOS (@GrapheneOS) reported@JKhrushche10538 @linuxuser1996 We already provided a clear solution for the bug recently introduced by PayPal above. If you don't tell us what isn't working then there's no way for us to directly help with it. We can only guess what you're trying to do and what's not set up properly to cause an issue.

SpiritualHealing (@passwort987) reported@linuxuser1996 And if you can't live without it that Paypal isn't able anymore to get money out of you ,you still can use it as a PWA without problems. The ppl who want everything, cloud, KI auto-features, face recognition etc. , despite GOS handling most should maybe have a stock as 2. phone

HypaValley | Algorithmic Trading (@HypaValley) reportedPYPL -14% over two sessions as Stripe/Advent walk away from $53B bid PayPal fell 12.71% on Friday, Aug. 28, when the walkaway news broke, then another 1.85% on Monday, Aug. 31. Cumulatively, that’s roughly 14.3% from Thursday’s close through Monday’s close as Bloomberg News reported that payment processor Stripe and private equity firm Advent International have abandoned their planned $53 billion acquisition of the fintech giant. Stripe and Advent had previously offered $60.50 per share; talks broke down after the bidders and PayPal's board failed to agree on a higher valuation. The collapse leaves PayPal to pursue an independent turnaround under new CEO Enrique Lores amid intensifying competition from digital payment platforms and slower organic growth. The drop erases months of deal-related gains and forces investors to reassess PayPal's standalone operational progress and profitability outlook. Two investment banks have slashed price targets in response, with Mizuho cutting its target to $51 and Loop Capital to $50, both citing competitive pressures and execution risk. Investors should monitor whether PayPal management explores alternative strategic options or accelerates its cost restructuring to restore investor confidence. #PYPL

Ronald Britton (@Ronaldp38dy) reported@JayJayasuriya Permanent shutdown with zero explanation is such a hard place to be, no reason means no way to even fix whatever triggered it. Hope @AskPayPal actually gives you something concrete soon.
