  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.

  @InfarisVelsina The paypal BS is a big issue but if it wasn't for that I think you'd be able to do this full time one day For following I think x is just really hard to build for but your twitch I think is doing well,. just sucks to say but you may need to branch into more communities to build

  PayPal can be great, but the issues I’ve had with it this year are driving me insane. Of course it’s being the worst right now when I really need it. If I’m going to miss out on stuff because of this I’m really going lose it.

  @LooongJooohnson @PayPal Isn't this a solution for those who want to travel to China but are struggling with payment issues? If that's your thinking, can I say that the US started using WeChat to curry favor with China?

  @lja_xx @DodgeDJohnson Happens to many people. It is a common scam on ebay going back since the start. People buy a broken camera for example, buy a new working one, then return the broken one in its place and ebay and paypal side with the buyer. It is recommend to take photos of the product.

  @Mickskinz May be stating the bleedin' obvious here... 1. Stop the DD at bank level 2. Close the PayPal account - via the "forgotten password" route 3. Contact Microsoft Support directly - "Services & Subscriptions" see if the storage plan is visible & tied to an active Microsoft login

  @Shopify FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Disconnect Paypal from new stores by default. @PayPal is the world's worst. You're literally giving new stores an issue to deal with straight out the gate with this default integration and payment acceptance.

  @wood_bespoke 🤦 If I could login I wouldn't be asking. If I could cancel my card it wouldn't be a problem. But the details on the PayPal account are completely unknown and use an old phone number so I can't login and they won't talk to me on the phone because I can't answer the questions, the direct debit is not a card payment it's a bank payment straight from my account. I will find the time and do an hour on the phone to the bank but that's the thing I wanted to avoid. It's the only way to sort it.

  This is actually pretty good for China travel. When I was in China, the only QR code payment processors were Alipay and Weixin Pay. If the vendor accepts Alipay, there’s almost never a problem, but if the vendor only accepted Weixin Pay, there was a lot of problems getting my US financial institution to approve the transaction. So I would either have to use cash or switch to a credit card if Weixin Pay wasn’t working. So PayPal being allowed to be used in China will reduce a lot of headache for foreign travelers. Though you absolutely should set up a WeChat account prior to travel for more efficient communication with Chinese contacts.

  @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 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? 👀

  Something 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.
