The Thrifty Dev (@TheThriftyDev) reportedYou act like physical effort is the only way to contribute value, hell even mental effort isn't the only way. The dude literally sold his shares and PayPal and started to pipe dream companies and made them major successes. He risks his wealth, time, energy, and uses his own mental capital to a large extent. Again even out of all the billionaires, how many of them do you know of that average creating a multi-billion dollar company as frequently as Elon musk does? And you act like he's just taking still, it's not about you not insulting him. It's about the fact that you act like he's not creating massive wealth for a large number of other people that are just employees and the grand scheme of things. He employs crap tons of Americans by the way. So you have a funny way of not insulting him by insinuating that he doesn't deserve what no one else has, for being able to do what no one else can or is willing to do. Also it's the f****** dollar Ponzi scheme currency that they can print out of thin air that is your problem not the rich people. It's the Central Bank stupid.

MironAi (@Miron_Ai) reportedPeter Thiel is worth over $20 billion and he tells students that competition is for losers. He earned the right to say it. In 2004 he wrote a $500,000 check to a 19-year-old for 10.2% of Facebook - the first outside money that company ever took. He sold most of it for over a billion. Before that he cofounded PayPal, before that he was a failed Supreme Court clerkship candidate who quit corporate law after seven months. His argument in this lecture is one line long. All happy companies are different because each earns a monopoly by solving a unique problem. All failed companies are the same - they failed to escape competition. Google makes about 30% margins. Airlines fight each other into the ground. Perfect competition is a synonym for zero profit. He wants you to build something nobody can copy.

SokoAnalyst (@SokoAnalyst) reportedSomething is clearly not right with how Kenya is being viewed by the global financial system. Sendwave and Wise have started restricting some services to Kenyans. Hurupay pulled out. Some PayPal users have also faced restrictions. Then, almost at the same time, police in Uasin Gishu recover KSh2.6 million in cash and what they say is US$259 million in suspected fake dollar notes. These may be separate issues, but you cannot just brush them aside. Kenya is already on the FATF grey list over concerns around money laundering and weaknesses in financial controls. So when global payment firms start becoming cautious about Kenya, while police are making such huge counterfeit currency seizures, people are going to ask questions. And the people who suffer first are not the big names in government. It is the freelancer waiting for payment from abroad. It is the small business importing stock. It is the family depending on remittances. It is the young Kenyan trying to work online and get paid. Once trust in a country’s financial system starts taking a hit, everything becomes harder and more expensive. Kenya needs to take this seriously. We cannot keep talking about becoming a regional financial hub while international payment companies are becoming more uncomfortable dealing with us. Trust is very easy to lose and painfully difficult to rebuild.

Robert J Abalos (@robertjabalos) reported@peak_skier @MPelletierCIO You are so correct. I gave up on eBay about six years ago. Too many slow or dead listings. Site is overrun with scammers who file chargebacks after receiving items. Ironically, the site ran better before PayPal when buyers would mail envelopes with money orders or cash.

Rugikk (@rugikkk) reportedElon 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.

⊹ ࣪ ˖✨Sparkle | Girl Failure Puppy 🐾⊹ ࣪ ˖ (@SparklezPawz) reportedI may never be working with editors after my terrible and unprofessional experience with my very first one as an indie vtuber, this is the **** that makes me want to quit sometimes I never had an editor come to my friends chat after I gifted them 5 subs and they say “can pay her pookie subs but can’t pay her editor properly” After I expressed I cannot afford to pay them the wage they want, they asked me how much I can afford, I provided my budget and they immediately took the deal instead of waiting for me to get the right money I took the deal because they insisted it’s okay that time, a month later they’re asking me to pay them more because they regret taking my low payment , I expressed how unprofessional and stressful this experience has been and they tell me “you could’ve just said no” It’s a little hard not to say just “no” when the prior statements after asking for more money is “I worked over 25 hours on this and I can’t justify how much you paid me” I paid them more today and told them I don’t want to work with them anymore after this current video, and then I see this in my PayPal Imagine trying to run a business and you treat your clients like this.

Mohd Zuhaib (@FinancialMelody) reportedI believe that the most hated stock of 2026 is probably PayPal $PYPL. Investors have almost completely abandoned it. Growth has slowed, competition has increased, and the stock has taken a massive beating. But the Q2 numbers are making me think twice. • Payments volume up 10% • Free cash flow up 157% So the question is: Is $PYPL truly broken, OR Are we hating on it more than it deserves? 👀

Race 🕊️ (@multiplanet1) reportedElon Musk was fired from his own company while flying to his honeymoon. September 2000. He boarded a plane with his new wife, finally taking a break. While he was in the air, unreachable, the PayPal board held an emergency vote and removed him as CEO. Executives he had hired organized the coup, timed precisely for the hours he couldn't defend himself. He landed to discover he no longer ran his own company. He flew back immediately and tried to fight it. The board held firm. The coup stood. Here's where the story becomes about him and not them. He didn't sue. He didn't burn it down. He didn't spend years in litigation like most founders would. He stayed on the board, kept his shares, and kept advising the men who knifed him. When asked why, he said the mission mattered more than his ego, and his shares mattered more than revenge. Two years later PayPal sold to eBay for $1.5 billion. Because he'd stayed instead of raging, his stake had grown into $180 million. The betrayal became the exact capital that funded SpaceX and Tesla. The men who fired him made him the richest founder in the building. Every rocket that launches today was paid for by a coup that was supposed to end him. Revenge is expensive. Equity is patient. He chose the one that compounds, and the people who wronged him ended up financing his empire.

stillz (@stillzdw) reportedHonestly, I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. There are others who have gone through something similar or even the exact same situation with him, and apparently, they end up settling things amicably. I hope this can be resolved, as the whole thing seems completely crazy to me. I can understand a problem or a disagreement and working toward a solution, but filing PayPal claims over things that don't even fail a similarity check (like a background) is just absurd; he simply filed a claim for the *entire* job
