  The Arcane Verse⚕️ (@Telephantix) reported 2 minutes ago

  @FTC I am following up on an official complaint I filed with your office a few years ago. I continue to experience issues with several companies that appear to block or withhold funds through their policies or technology. These companies include Gmail, Cash App, PayPal, and X (formerly Twitter). Cash App is embedded within the X platform, yet after years they still claim I never received funds that should have reached me. I strongly suspect fabricated transaction numbers or records, which I believe constitutes fraud. These actions have resulted in the loss of life-changing sums of money due to what appears to be poor policy enforcement and/or malfeasance. I respectfully request that the FTC investigate these companies for unfair and deceptive practices. Please advise on the status of my prior complaint and what additional documentation or steps are needed to move forward. Thank you for your assistance. Joshua Lowden @Telephantix

  Not surprised PayPal Ventures is shutting down. I am, however, surprised it took this long.

  @libsoftiktok @PayPal Paypal goin down hill...they have a policy if you use PayPal money to spread what they say is misinformation, you get fined like 2k a month or something...so if u used PayPal to buy a billboard that said the 2020 election was stolen, you would be fined.

  The difference between Elon Musk and many of his critics is that everything Elon Musk has was given voluntarily, while his critics rely on coercion to get what they want. People chose to place their wealth in Elon's ventures. They looked at what he did and contributed because it looked good. Then it turned out that the products worked very well. Most of the companies are also doing things that haven't been done before. They are expanding the possibilities for human life on Earth and beyond. They have been providing massive value to a wide range of people. For instance, Tesla is a win-win: an American company with American manufacturing jobs that makes highly-rated cars people love, while at the same time reducing reliance on fossil fuels. People will say that his companies have used government contracts, loans, and programs. Nobody should deny the importance of government. But nobody would be buying the products if they were bad. Musk never forced these programs that he benefitted from on anybody. They were available and he made the best possible use of them. He could have abandoned innovating after Paypal but instead he chose to put that money into further ventures. His net worth is derived from his own risk-taking and dreams that other people decided were worthwhile investments. His critics, on the other hand, would use the power of the state to force money to be taken and moved to other, much less productive purposes. In doing so, no value will be created and much will be lost. Even more importantly, the attacks reveal a staggering ingratitude and stupidity. Here's a guy we stumbled upon who created a bunch of companies that actually make real stuff,stuff that's never been made before so well and at this scale, and they do much of it in America. While I acknowledge that lawmakers might accidentally fund some future innovator like Musk with their schemes, what kind of message do they send to such people when they denigrate a man like Elon Musk? They are not simply arguing that we as a society should look at the issue of inequality. They are displaying a stunning lack of common sense and economic illiteracy in the assumption that the world is zero-sum, that the money should simply be "re-directed" to alleviate social problems. They send a very clear message that success on the level that Musk has achieved will not be tolerated. They want their goals exactly as they want them and without any dissenting views, as Musk is known for having.

  Tried moving money out of PayPal Business. Even Gemini 3.5 Flash Extended couldn’t explain it after a long back-and-forth, even with full access to PayPal docs and Reddit. PayPal, your documentation and UX are broken: if an LLM cannot get it, regular users have zero chance.

  @klose_alfred @myaltfr @myaltfr do NOT interact with this account! This dude is a scammer. he said the same to me and then he wanted by login data of my bank account, and as I refused to do that, he told me he can send money via paypal but I'd have to send him 50€ first.

  @COV_VP @codeofvets @stripe I did see this. After I raised the original issue. The new system is far better than PayPal. Just be aware that their system will try to add a company to your registration. They tried adding my Condo association to my registration because I pay dues online.

  @ImBreckWorsham So true but I can one up you. I was trying to get a refund for a warranty issue on a keyboard I got my son. The only way they will send the refund is through PayPal. It’s like they are trapped in 2000 and can’t let it go.

  my grandma has been lying about not knowing how to use her phone for THREE YEARS. every time we visited she'd hand it to me like a helpless baby and say "sweetheart i don't understand this thing." i'd fix whatever and feel like a good grandson. last month my cousin caught her on a facebook live selling handmade quilts to 847 people with ring lighting and a PayPal link in the comments. she has a whole persona. her name is "Grandma Betty Stitches" and she has more followers than me. she looked at my cousin and said "don't tell the boys, they like feeling useful."

  @deobimom They added Google Pay (I think since PayPal was NOT working) and it works, but also if you have a Wise account you can do the bank transfer option and it works.

  @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.

  @raxkadess Girls, don't trust him. He asks to pay through PayPal Goods and Services just to file for a refund later. Plus, he reports accounts. Save yourselves the trouble and don't sell to him #buyingcontent
