  @SarahisCensored We can get it shut down if you everyone contacts PayPal which they are using to get donations. With the proof you have it goes against the terms of service. Report it as fraudulent and show the funds are not intended for what it is stated. It will begin an investigation

  @StockSavvyShay Visa $V and Mastercard $MA only charge about 0.15% of the total sum. About 95% of the cost goes to the bank (they issue the card) + payment processor (can also be the bank or something like paypal). So ask the government if they are confortable cracking the bank controled security + their regulated inexpensive tools to give control to a coin only about 1% of the population really trust. This is not only about friction cost but security, regulation, government + banks influence and control.

  @digitalassetbuy PayPal and Ripple have very strong ties together from the early days. PayPal was a Zero to One idea and eBay was the catalyst. It allowed PP to get massive volume quickly while integrating frictionless retail payment flow. Ripple is solving a similar issue for global banking. 021

  @PayPal @AskPayPal I have been having many problems with my dispute and appeal which got denied against a seller using a tracking number scam. I am informing in different channels that I will be placing a complaint with the BBB and CFPB, and possibly a US Attorney.

  @BTFDGreg @steverabinow You keep trying to force this into a confession that BSV “contradicts Bitcoin.” I don’t accept that frame. A better description is that the technology is growing up. Early Bitcoin solved an important problem: how to make direct digital payments without routing every transaction through a financial intermediary that can impose chargebacks, custody, account control, and platform permission. That remains essential. BSV keeps keys, signatures, proof of work, public validation, direct payments, low fees, and user-controlled wallets. But real commercial systems also have to answer questions early cypherpunk rhetoric often waved away: What happens after theft? What happens after fraud? What happens when a transaction is part of an attack? What happens when property is disputed? What happens when courts, businesses, insurers, estates, exchanges, and ordinary users enter the picture? BSV’s answer is not “bring back PayPal.” It is: preserve direct digital cash for ordinary use, while adding a defined legal framework for exceptional disputes. That is not dishonesty. That is maturity. You can prefer a harsher model where technically valid possession wins forever, even after theft or attack. That is a coherent philosophy. But it is not the only honest reading of digital cash, and it is not obviously the best foundation for real-world commerce. “Satoshi’s Vision” is not scripture worship. It is a design thesis: scalable peer-to-peer electronic cash, stable rules, useful transactions, proof of work, honest nodes, low fees, and commerce that can actually function at scale. BSV is trying to build that in the grown-up world where law, property, fraud, and accountability exist. You can call that a different vision. Fine. But the train is moving toward usable systems: wallets, signatures, payments, identity, privacy, overlays, micropayments, apps, and lawful digital property. And soon you will find that it is leaving the station. These points are what real-world enterprise and commercial builders should evaluate.

  @RWToronto @mallen20243 @McFaul If someone had a trillion dollars just sitting in a bank account, yes that would be an eye bleeding ridiculous amount of money that they would never be able to use. It would be unconscionable in some sense. Elon does not have a trillion dollars though. In 2002 when Paypal was sold to ebay, he made $180 million after paying about 35% in taxes on the income. Those getting the payout now could try to do what Elon did. He invested $100 million to start SpaceX and $70 million into Tesla. Now 24 years later after insurmountable odds those companies are theoretically worth trillions and his share of those companies are worth over a trillion. But if he tried to sell all his shares, the value of them would collapse along with everyone's pension and retirement fund as the market can not absorb it and he would have to pay a tremendous amount of taxes and then he would no longer have any control over Tesla or SpaceX. His percent control hasn't changed much over the years, it's just theoretically worth more on paper. He probably has millions in his bank account, not billions. And he uses the capital he has to build new companies or innovations like Neuralink or xAI. All of these benefit us. All of his companies are benefitting us. We will be able to have cheap robotaxis providing transport everywhere, making commutes easier, cheaper and safer while reducing carbon emissions. Lives will be saved from reduced accidents and pollution. Starlink is already on many planes transforming our flying experience and productivity while connecting people in remote areas that traditionally had little access, equalizing opportunities across the world. His Neuralink is helping dozens of paralyzed people to be able to interact with and control a computer or prosthetic. His Optimus robots will transform factories, homes and businesses. XAI will make work faster and easier, solve problems, develop applications. His investments have all provided tremendous benefit to us and the future benefit is a magnitude greater.

  SpaceX, 2008. Down to one final attempt with Falcon 1 before the money was gone. On Sept 28, 2008 it was a success. The first rocket to orbit the earth from a private space agency. What the whining critics also forget is that when he sold Zip2 he poured that money into PayPal & when he sold PayPal he poured that money into Tesla & SpaceX. Whiners accomplish nothing. They are like gnats, a mere nuisance. The pure idiocy of folks mocking him validates a timeless axiom: 🔽 “Envy is the language of the lazy”. 🤝

  @ChemicallyHuman @SenSanders @VP1985_CA He has given you PayPal, SpaceX, The Boring Company, Tesla, Neuralink, StarLink, and open sourced all of it! Giving money to people/organizations does very little. Philanthropy is overrated. Actually producing and encouraging dialogue solves problems.

  @greg_travis @TomChivers @cafreiman Kk, no worries. My English sometimes fails me. PayPal solved major issues in almost-instant monetary transfers across the globe (in its day), allowing many small organizations to operate more fluently, small businesses to build outside their regional location, reduced bank xfer delays also internationally (yes, it wasn't Elon alone, yes there are other providers, yes PayPal has fees too, yes the money can get held, yes there may be fraud, ..)

  See whats funny is ive been told im not prioritizing my money to buy his records on Itunes to get that number 1. The issue is, ive already bought it on ITunes & GIFTING THE ALBUM doesnt count for the charts. So i’d have to what…. Send hundreds of dollars out via paypal to everyone to make it happen, which could get marked as fraudulent by my bank AND Paypal? Also, the amount of streams you need to just hit 1 album unit. Youre basically spending your entire day just trying to abide by these rules & people dont understand that some of us have jobs, we have other commitments bc we’re all grown *** adults lol. Nothing will ever be enough for them i fear. Including these screenshots to back up my claims so noone can say im uneducated.

  Elon Musk got rejected by Netscape. He walked into the lobby, was too shy to talk to anyone, and walked out. Never got the job. At his first company Zip2, the board demoted him. Twice. They refused to let him be CEO. He got fired from PayPal as CEO while flying to his own honeymoon. The board voted him out mid air. He almost died of malaria in 2000. Ten days in intensive care. Lost 45 pounds. A day from death. His first child died at 10 weeks old. His first rocket exploded. Falcon 1, flight one. Burned on the pad. His second rocket exploded. His third rocket exploded. The last of his money was nearly gone. Tesla nearly went bankrupt in 2008. The closest he ever came to a nervous breakdown. Both companies almost died on the same Christmas Eve. He was sued by investors. Mocked by the people who built cars before him. His childhood heroes, the astronauts who inspired him, testified against his company to Congress. The Cybertruck window shattered on live stage in front of the world. He overpaid for Twitter by his own admission and watched its value collapse. He was beaten unconscious as a child and thrown down a flight of stairs. He has said he goes to sleep alone and it kills him. He failed in public, over and over, for thirty years. He is the richest man in the history of the world. The difference was never the absence of failure. It was the refusal to stop after it.

  Outrageous (@impeach46please) reported 52 minutes ago

  I’m sick to death of people bitching about Elon Musk having a trillion dollars. The man didn’t steal it. He didn’t inherit it. He built multiple companies that literally changed the world — PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX. People love to scream about billionaires while driving around in cars, using their phones, and ordering things online — all technologies made possible by people who took huge risks and created massive value. If you’re mad that someone got insanely rich by making humanity multi-planetary and accelerating the shift to sustainable energy, then your problem isn’t with his money. Your problem is with success itself.
