  @eventbrite using your mobile app and paying via PayPal is literally impossible. You can't enter your PayPal details because the screen jumps up and down as and when the keyboard screen comes into and out at the same time, its basically playing wackamole with my fingers 😭

  @PayPal @AskPayPal Please restart your operations in Türkiye. We don't want to deal with @Payoneer, which charges exorbitant fees and causes problems.

  @Pasta_Eclipse Hi!! If you got it through PayPal it'll say it charged the full amount but it only actually took the $3! If it's showing up in your bank that it took the full amount tho that sometimes happens as a glitch, and you should get a refund any minute, it's the same thing uber does 1/2

  @PayPal I've been trying to get money off of your site and into my bank for like 6+ months and have run into issue after issue. I keep getting told "oh just try again" and things get pushed down the line for another week.

  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.

  @HoweyJohnn34169 Thank you for the feedback. I suggest considering the affiliate program which is the next release and will be launched imminently… three referrals brings the cost of membership down to zero and from there its 40% of every recurring monthly fee that Vivé receives from every referral paid directly via Payoneer (we chose them because PayPal is dying and doesn’t operate here but they offer exactly same services) and straight to your bank account from there… every referral can start referring as well (instantly) with a live membership All details are on the website and inside the platform under the Affiliates tab

  Hi @PayPal. I just spoke to Yasmina and Miguel. Yasmina was lovely. Miguel is a problem. He informed me that ALL PayPal does is hide your payment info from the vendor. He also refused to transfer me. My problem still exists, and will happen again. Can someone help?

  Three men. Three centuries. Three fortunes that each built the infrastructure of their age. JOHN JACOB ASTOR (1763 to 1848). The first millionaire. A German immigrant who arrived in New York at 21 with nothing. He cornered the North American fur trade through the American Fur Company, then walked away from it in the 1830s, exactly when the cycle was peaking, and reinvested every dollar into Manhattan real estate. He bought farmland and woods that are now Midtown. By the time he died in 1848, his estate was worth more than the entire United States Treasury. His advice was a single sentence: "Buy every foot of land on the Island of Manhattan." JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER (1839 to 1937). The first billionaire. He did not invent oil. He invented operational efficiency. He cut the cost of refining a gallon of kerosene from 3 cents to under 1, undercut every competitor on price, and consolidated the entire American oil industry under Standard Oil. By 1880 he controlled 90% of US refining. The Supreme Court broke up Standard Oil in 1911. The breakup made him richer. The parts were worth more than the whole. He crossed a billion in 1916 at age 77. Then spent the next 21 years giving most of it away. The University of Chicago, Rockefeller University and the Rockefeller Foundation all exist because of that second chapter. ELON MUSK (1971 to present). The first trillionaire. PayPal taught him software. SpaceX gave him orbit. Reusable rockets cut the cost of mass to space by 90 percent. Tesla made electric vehicles mainstream and became the most valuable car company in history. He layered xAI, Neuralink, The Boring Company and Tesla Energy on top. Each company solves a different hard physical problem. Launch. AI. Tunnelling. Brain interfaces. Energy storage. The trillion was not a stock price. It was the sum of someone betting on every one of the next century's infrastructure problems at the same time. THE PATTERN Astor solved how to settle a continent. Rockefeller solved how to fuel the industrial age. Musk is solving how to leave one planet for many. Every century, capitalism adds a zero. Every century, the zero gets built by the person willing to bet on the infrastructure nobody else dared to build. The fourth zero will not be made on this planet.

  Big Brain AI (@realBigBrainAI) reported 43 minutes ago

  Oracle Co-Founder and Chairman Larry Ellison on why AI is fundamentally different from every tech bubble that came before it: He starts with the internet bubble — not to warn us, but to make a distinction most people are missing. "When people talk about bubbles, what is a bubble? People get exuberant. But the internet was an incredible new technology. It remains the foundation of computing, and we couldn't have AI without the internet." The technology was never the problem. The confusion was. "People started confusing internet companies like PayPal, or even worse internet search, with pets/com." He breaks it down simply: "The fact that I can sell pet food on an e-commerce site doesn't suddenly mean I'm an internet company. Not really." PayPal used the web to build something genuinely new. Pets/com just moved an existing business online and called it innovation. Same label. Completely different substance. He sees the pattern repeating today: "Yes, there'll be people spending money on AI because almost every tech company these days calls themselves an AI company. But they're not. A lot of them are not." But here is where Ellison draws the line between then and now. The internet was foundational. But AI is something else entirely: "AI in terms of its value, this is the highest value technology we have ever seen. By far."
