  @Adiofreak I had PayPal before. I stopped using it for over a year, then when trying to sign in, it didn't recognize me and maybe believes it wasnt me, asked for proof so I did and still got locked. Cause I'm not in USA they think I'm scamming, I'm done with them already

  @Barchart @VladTheInflator The tape says something sharper than the headline. The board turned down $60.50 as too low. Yesterday the stock closed at $61.47, above the price it had refused. That is not merger arbitrage, that is the market pricing a bump nobody had agreed to pay. When the option expires, so does the premium. $53.97 after hours is roughly where the standalone case already was. The interesting part is why the buyers walked. Not price alone: the board flagged regulatory and financing obstacles. Stripe plus PayPal would have been around 63% of online checkout. That deal had an antitrust problem before it had a price problem. The part worth keeping: a $53bn take-private of a business guiding to about $5.38 of adjusted EPS, with $486bn of quarterly payment volume growing 10%, could not get financed in the same month AI infrastructure raised more than that at coupons under 1%. Capital is not scarce. It is directional. At roughly 10x 2027 estimates, PayPal is a turnaround again, and now priced as one.

  @anthonyiseman @StockMarketNerd Short term fine - long term debatable. I'll Never buy another CRM licence ever again - I suspect no other founder will either, large enterprise will double down thinking it can help them become "ai" - The markets react quickly, often too quick.... but answer me this... when I can build a CRM in an afternoon.. (and I have, several times)... why would I pay for it ? Compliance, Security, Infastructure.... I already have all of those with Cloudflare or Google... I'm already paying for it... why would I pay twice.. what you're seeing is the ApplePay launch for PayPal...CD's replacing tapes, Digital camera's replacing film.... change takes time... those that adapt will be fine.. those that dont, die. thats just the nature of the S curve of business. Be under no illusion, Ai is and will change EVERYTHING!

  PayPal down 16% premarket. Not on earnings. On a deal that didn't happen. Advent and Stripe walked away. That's what people underrate about buying a rumor: you stop underwriting a business and start underwriting someone else's decision to sign. Agree or disagree?

  $PYPL Stripe and Advent Abandon PayPal Acquisition Bid: The parties reportedly terminated the proposed acquisition deal, which was valued at approximately $53 billion (or $60.50 per share). Key points of disagreement included valuation and potential regulatory risks. Pre-market Stock Plunge (Down ~12%–15%): A portion of the stock's previous gains was driven by the potential acquisition premium; with the deal off the table, that "M&A premium" has rapidly evaporated. Fundamentals Remain Solid: PayPal reported Q2 revenue of approximately $8.68 billion (up ~5% year-over-year) and adjusted EPS of $1.38, while also raising its full-year profit guidance. New CEO Driving Cost Cuts and AI Transformation: Enrique Lores plans to boost efficiency through AI integration and business restructuring, targeting at least $1.5 billion in annualized cost savings over the next 2–3 years. Key Short-Term Risk: With acquisition hopes gone, PYPL must now prove its growth potential based on its own performance while facing competition from rivals like Apple Pay and Google Pay.

  🔻 DROP DESK: $PYPL PayPal said $53 billion wasn’t enough. Now it might get nothing. Shares are down ~14%+ this morning after Advent and Stripe reportedly walked away from a potential takeover. The group had offered $60.50 per share, valuing PayPal at roughly $53 billion. PayPal’s board thought the price was too low. The problem? Shares had already climbed nearly 30% after takeover reports surfaced. Now the buyer is gone. For context, PayPal was worth roughly $360 billion at its 2021 peak. The abandoned offer valued it at about $53 billion. That’s one hell of a reset. Stocks don’t drop for no reason.

  Breakdown of the good news… 1. Shifting AI Off-Planet (The Energy Crisis Fix) The biggest hidden genius of the SpaceXAI / xAI merger is solving the global power crisis. Terrestrial AI data centers are consuming an unsustainable amount of Earth's electricity grid. [1] •What's Coming: SpaceX has filed to operate up to 1 million orbital data center satellites. •The Loop: Musk plans to use Starship to launch massive AI compute clusters directly into space. These space-based data centers will run on 100% pure, uninterrupted solar energy, bypassing Earth's power constraints completely. Starlink will then beam the AI processing power down to Earth instantaneously. [1, 2, 3] 🤖 2. The Internal "Circular Economy" Musk designs his companies so they don't have to rely on traditional, fragile global supply chains. Instead, his companies are their own primary customers. [1, 2] •Tesla’s factory labor: When Tesla rolls out its mass-produced Optimus Humanoid Robots, they won't be sold to the public first. They will be deployed inside Tesla’s own automotive factories to solve labor shortages and cut manufacturing costs to almost zero. [1] •The Compute Loop: The ultra-powerful AI chips designed by Tesla for its self-driving Robotaxis are funneled directly back to xAI to train newer versions of Grok. Nothing is wasted. [1] 🏦 3. Rewriting the Global Financial System Musk's oldest obsession is rebuilding the way money moves through the economy itself—a plan he has had since his early 1999 PayPal days. [1] •What's Coming: X is transitioning into an all-in-one financial hub. •The Loop: By integrating high-yield banking, peer-to-peer payments, and instant stock trading directly into X, Musk will have direct, frictionless access to hundreds of millions of retail investors. The next time a company like Neuralink or The Boring Company needs capital, his followers will be able to fund it natively in seconds, effectively cutting Wall Street banks completely out of the equation. [1] 🔮 The End Game: Post-Scarcity Economy Musk has openly predicted that by 2036, the combination of autonomous humanoid robots and advanced AI will create an "age of abundance" where goods and services are so cheap that traditional money will become almost meaningless. [1, 2] He isn't managing money to accumulate cash in a bank account. He is spending every dollar he can get his hands on now to control the core infrastructure of the future: the transport (SpaceX), the intelligence (xAI), and the automation (Tesla). [1, 2] If you'd like, we can focus on what is closest on the horizon: •Do you want to see how space-based AI data centers will actually work? •Are you curious about when the Optimus robots are scheduled to take over Tesla's assembly lines? [1, 2]
