  Elon Musk sat for his first television interview in 2007 with $37 million behind him and 2 companies that had shipped nothing. Wired Science, one camera, a host working from a script about a rich man's hobby. The money was 8 years old by then - Zip2 sold at 27, then the company eBay bought as PayPal. None of it shows. He sits in a cubicle at SpaceX with engineers on all sides. In at 9:30. Out at 8 PM. No fixed hours. The host asks whether he ever considered the beach and the beer and the sunset. Musk says that would be torture. The host laughs at him twice - once about his age, which Musk puts at 12, and once when he asks, on camera, whether we really went to the moon. Then the interview stops being about money. Musk says after college he picked 3 problems: the internet, space, and moving the economy off mined and burned hydrocarbons to solar electric. He gives 80% of his week to SpaceX and 2 to 3 days a month to Tesla. On the moon he is blunt - 1969 we walked on it, 3 decades later we can barely reach low Earth orbit. The moon is the Arctic. Barren, small, nowhere to put a civilization. "We saw that movie in the 60s. The remake's never as good." NASA, he points out, is not a rival. NASA is a customer. Falcon 9 lifts Dragon to the space station and brings it home, replacing the shuttle from 2011. Asked who is chasing him, he says nobody with a serious chance of catching. On Branson he does the math out loud: 9 units of energy to reach Mach 3, 625 to reach Mach 25, and all of it burns off again on reentry. Different league. He had already bought a ticket. The Tesla part is a business plan, not a car pitch. The Roadster runs 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds, beats every Porsche in production and every Ferrari but the Enzo, doubles the efficiency of a Prius, and 2007 production is nearly sold out. New technology enters at high price and low volume, so the sports car comes first. Model 2 is a $49,000 sedan. Model 3 lands near $30,000. None of it had been built. The host asks why you can't buy one yet. "We haven't made them yet." The tape is 19 years old. Nothing on it was a guess.

  @sjaguric @scriptles You can use it anyhere I think. It is like a bank with a debit card. I just set up to use on PayPal, and it worked. I will let you know if I run into any issues.

  @Tyler_Plummer @alexisohanian @altxyzofficial Have thought a lot about this. A few people have tried it on smaller scale - I think it would have to come from REIND/YC/TBPN or similar to get enough buy in from the people on the cards. even then, very little overlap with the average card collector and people who care about startups and venture. Pre-seed raises akin to rookie cards, companies to teams, limited signed runs, original merch swatches on cards. Unfortunately, the ship has sailed on a lot of the cards that would be worth something. Examples: SBF FTX seed round, Palmer Luckey Oculus, Elon PayPal would all have to be retroactively created and would be far less desirable than if they were made at the time. Last issue with it - there’s not a definable number of startups each year. Drawing the line on who gets a card and who doesn’t is hard without defined teams and rosters like they have for sports. Lots of companies and founders go under the radar before they’re common knowledge and would not even have rookie card equivalents because the card company wouldn’t know about them at the time of inception.

  Third time this year a payments giant bought or built a piece of the agent stack: • PayPal shipped Agent Ready (ACP + UCP via Braintree) • Shopify built UCP natively • Now Stripe — ACP co-author — owns model routing too The stack is being assembled top-down.

  @VannDough @agentlayer_ai the paypal analogy undersells it, paypal still needed a human to click confirm. agents need wallets with spend limits and revocable keys baked in, not just rails. x402 solves the sub cent problem card networks never could, a 30 cent min fee kills any agent making 1000 api calls a day.

  @J0hnADouglas @Adobe I had a problem with Avast. I successfully canceled the previous year, only to be billed the following year. Then I discovered that PayPal has a tab for sites allowed to use auto-renewal. I deleted Avast and many others. Now all my subscriptions are via PayPal.

  I'm holding my status as a former video editor and YouTuber for the time being because of another PayPal email confirming the permanent deactivation of my account after I contacted support about resolving disputes and negative balances. I can't use another payment system to refund my VGen clients and resolve the disputes from PayPal as it's locked on the payment platform, and sadly Wise, Payoneer and Stripe - the alternatives for client payments - isn't accessible in my country. It is potential that I'm requesting @_VGen_ support to ban my account permanently due to this mess - and I can't open my comms any longer - due to both my broken reputation and my PayPal account being banned. I'll update you when there's more info.

  Elon Musk's best friend staged an intervention to stop him from starting SpaceX. Adeo Ressi had known him since college. When Elon said he was going to spend his PayPal fortune building rockets, Ressi did what any good friend would do. He compiled a video montage of rockets exploding. Every famous launch failure in history, cut together into one film of fireballs, and he sat Elon down and made him watch it. The message was simple. This is what happens to rockets. This is what will happen to your money. Nations with unlimited budgets fail at this. You are one man. Friends flew in. They took turns explaining why this was insane. The aerospace industry agreed with them. Everyone who loved him and everyone who understood rockets said the same word. Don't. Elon watched the entire video. Thanked his best friend. And started SpaceX anyway. Here's the part nobody talks about. Ressi wasn't wrong. The first rocket exploded. The second exploded. The third exploded, exactly like the montage predicted. Elon lost almost everything, exactly as warned. Then the fourth one reached orbit and everything the video predicted became the reason the story is legendary. The people who love you will always show you the explosion reel. They're not lying. The explosions are real. What they can't show you is the launch after the last explosion, because that footage doesn't exist yet. You have to film it yourself.

They couldn't figure it out. Bank later had it standard, still didn't function for me. My PayPal probably older than that person

  why is paypal such a pain to use :/ at spacered, we work with clients internationally, and we mostly use wise or direct bank transfers for overseas payments, both have worked pretty smoothly for us the problem is that a lot of our US clients default to paypal, and explaining the limitations / issues we run into receiving payments in india gets old pretty quickly stripe and venmo aren't really options for us either sf founders / tech bros / anyone from the US, what are you guys actually using for international payments? looking for something that's popular in the US, easy to use, and doesn't turn into a headache on either end what's the move?

  @survivetheark How to fix Ark and why (only part of the full list) I’ll cover the top 3 things currently stopping players—especially new ones—from playing, because Ark is on its way to being dead. This is for the PvP side. 1) Turrets: The work-to-reward ratio for turret and bullet production is drastically worse than soaking with a capped-saddle, high-health, stacked, mutated soaker. It takes a week to farm what a soaker can burn through in a few hours. Not cool. 😎 This leads to people living in caves regardless of 6x damage. No land bases—just rat 🐀 holes or mesh. People drop a Stego on you, beer-rocket the generator on land, and it’s GG… No new players are going to play like this. 2) Mutations: Because the team left it the same as Evolved. Let me explain how it’s supposed to work versus what actually happens. Mutations are 0/20 on both sides, so it was intended to give +40 levels. That’s a problem because a perfect tame is 224 (unless you use the new sea turtle trick to get a 225). Every time I see a 225, a Game Master almost certainly spawned it—224 is typically the real max. Breed two 224s together and you get a 250–270 depending on stats. That’s actually a really great start. Then you mutate. The intended max should be around 300-ish plus your own levels, putting a max Dino at 370–380. That’s still 70–80 levels short of the 450 cap, so there should be no way to reach max. That’s dumb as hell by itself. Instead, the team left mutation stacking in the game. That’s where you breed a mutated male to any 0/20 0/20 female (an “00 female”). This lets you stack mutations indefinitely. It’s super retarded and stops new players from ever competing. I can explain every reason why, but you’d have to hire me first. This leads to—guess what?—people buying Dinos via PayPal, cash, etc. Money your team isn’t getting. 🤦 What retards in leadership. Because of this, people buy Dinos. Duh. 🙄 That’s now literally the only way to play PvP. Ask anyone with a brain. 🧠 3) Because of both 1 and 2, new players cannot run the bosses. You can’t survive. Alphas live in the caves with Dinos they bought or Dinos they raided using Dinos they bought. So players just pay for boss runs. Does this sound like ******* fun? Yes, I’ve done all of this. I’ve been the alpha, bought and sold Dinos, and “fixed” mutations by going out to tame a low-level 00 female. I’m a pro. Any casual player will leave, and even a lot of hardcore players will leave. All that’s left is bought Dinos, meshing, and an impossible wall of entry if you want to play fully legit.
