Johnny B (@JohnnyB695769) reported@46_cxx @BluCloud64 @jonkentcomrade Why would they make rockets to travel to another planet use as an island when no normal could live there for 200 years when he could've simply bought an island with his PayPal earnings in the 90s and saved himself the trouble of revolutionizing space technology

//GHOST DANCE// (@YAKOKE_ACTUAL) reportedGreetings everyone who hasn’t blocked or muted this account. @skoonrB here with an update. I was on the road all last week and the patches arrived while I was away from home, thus why I’m posting this update today. I received 155 patches, a mix of Ghost Dance, Scalper, Wind Talker and Dream Stalker. Much less than the 400+ subscribers. Some of you that are still here might actually want a patch, so the thought is if you were a Ghost Dance subscriber, comment below. In a week I will have Grok select 155 people and send them out, after cross referencing the subscriber list. To be fair if you want to enter for a patch then you should exclude yourself from requesting comms or kit, when and if we ever receive those. Radios are supposedly in route and those will go out to people that responded to the former post where people requested comms gear. We don’t have a clear number of how many there are but it will be made public once we get a count. Med kits, the only ones I know of are the two I have sent by anonymous person, those also will go out to two people on the Medicine Man list. Money. First transfer of funds has been sent to one of the members of former leadership. $3,769.16 was transferred to their PayPal account. This will be used for shipping of patches and comms gear / kit once received. Once everything goes out any money left over will be split between several charities or organizations, to be decided by poll later. The subscriptions appear to have been cancelled last week, and from my understanding X and the party they use for payments hold the funds for up to three months. So three months from now we hopefully have all sent out and have our hands clean of this entire messy situation. Final note, all PII is on a secure Proton server and not held on any personal devices. Once all gear is sent out, all data will be deleted from the spreadsheets, then me and the other person who has access will delete our Proton accounts. ** Please just reply to this message if you were a subscriber and you want a patch. Thank you Bryan

ⓐⓣⓘⓜⓐ Ⓞⓕ Ⓚⓞⓝⓘⓢⓗⓘ (@YatimaOfKonishi) reported@McFaul A person can INVEST a billion dollars. How do you think Elon was able to get SpaceX and Tesla up and running? It is hard to remember, but NO ONE was willing to take on the RISK in those ideas. Those Paypal billions could have gone down the drain. Lefties never think of risk.

The Tails of Cat Castle #lovewins (@catcastletails) reported@ROSEMOORE254606 @catswithnohope She is doing ok. The situation is challenging as there was a large bill left to pay and although Nour covered a lot of it, they want the remaining $2000 before they’ll continue any appointments. Nour has to go to America to sort out the issue with paypal as he needs to get her bank account amended so he still can’t accept donations via PayPal. Am working with him on a solution for this.

Kevin Kershner (@kevinkershner) reported@KourraVT -It's not cash--it's stock. -Not all problems are money problems to begin with. -His co-founding of PayPal, heavy investments in Tesla, and creation of SpaceX do not preempt others getting out of poverty. -Engineers and workers at these locations weren't ever going to grow and deliver food or build houses. They were going to do engineer things. -To benefit from the labor of others, you must bring value to others. The primary cause of poverty is not making good faith efforts to do things other people find valuable.

William Simmons (@William93410891) reportedWhen Elon Musk founded SpaceX in 2002, he funded the company almost entirely with the roughly $100 million he made from the sale of PayPal. At the time, the aerospace industry was dominated by massive, government-backed contractors, and building rockets from scratch with a small private team was considered practically impossible. SpaceX’s first vehicle was the Falcon 1, a small, liquid-fueled rocket. But learning how to reach orbit with live ammunition proved brutal: Flight 1 (March 2006): Failed 34 seconds after liftoff due to a fuel line leak and fire. Flight 2 (March 2007): Reached space, but failed to achieve orbit when the second-stage engine shut down early due to fuel sloshing. Flight 3 (August 2008): Failed right at stage separation. The first stage unexpectedly thrust forward and collided with the second stage, destroying the rocket and the payload. The Financial Cliff By the fall of 2008, the situation was dire. The 2008 global financial crisis had frozen investment markets, and both of Musk's major ventures—SpaceX and Tesla—were bleeding cash and teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. Musk had originally budgeted enough personal money for three launches. After the third failure, he managed to scrape together just enough remaining capital and spare parts to assemble one last rocket. He later noted that he had to decide whether to let one company die to save the other, or risk his last remaining funds to try and save both. He rolled the dice on a fourth launch. If it failed, SpaceX was dead. Flight 4: The Last Chance Operating under massive pressure, the SpaceX team diagnosed the timing error that doomed Flight 3, built a new rocket largely from existing hardware, and flew it via military transport to their remote launch site on Omelek Island in the Pacific. Because they couldn't afford the liability or the delay of finding a paying customer, the payload was just a dummy mass—a block of aluminum weighing about 165 kg (364 lb). On September 28, 2008, Falcon 1 Flight 4 lifted off. This time, everything worked perfectly. The vehicle reached its target altitude and coasted into orbit, making history as the first privately developed, fully liquid-fueled rocket to reach Earth orbit. But SpaceX was still broke. During Christmas 2008, Santa awarded SpaceX a $ 1.6 billion contract to deliver supplies to the International Space Station. Where were all the Elon Musk haters (Pocahontas et al.) in 2008, when Elon risked both his companies to give SpaceX just one more try? If anything had gone wrong, Tesla, SpaceX and Musk would have been doomed. Friday, June 12, 2026—SpaceX officially went public in what is now the largest initial public offering (IPO) of all time. Well done, Musk et al., well done indeed. Enjoy your money.

Summerisle (@LairdSummerisle) reported@rvrsidmeditat @FergusMason25 You are doubling down on your idiocy. PayPal was a revolutionary system that offered something nobody else did at the time, hence its success. But you are of the mind that we ought to wait another 25 years for a politburo to come up with it instead. Tragic nonsense.

A new Nigeria is POssible (@Play_Muziq) reportedElon 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.

WRAPTHx (@wrapthx) reported@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

Hassan Kurusee (@HKurusee) reportedReceiving USD in Maldives was never really the issue. BML might occasionally place a hold on incoming funds, but once you provide an invoice (genuine or fake), they release the money. The real challenge has always been sending USD abroad. Does PayPal solve that problem? No.

JayBlake (@punishedMTL) reported@RoKhanna Ro, you're a multi centi-millionaire. Your worth more today (not adjusted for inflation) than Elon was when he sold PayPal, and on his road to becoming a trillionaire, he nearly went bankrupt several times. Dont you think you could take say 100 million of your own money and start a for profit business that uses innovative technology to solve those problems? How do we make food cheaper but good quality? How do we make healthcare cheaper, but good quality? How do we make childcare affordable, but good quality? Education...etc. etc. Elon started out with ~ 150 million and 2 dreams: decarbonize transportation (which everyone told him was impossible) And make life multiplanetary. Which is at least two orders of magnitude more pie in the sky than building viable electric cars. Both of these ideas, when posited in the very very early 2000s sounded more insane than the entrepreneurial endeavor I suggested that you embark on above. So I have faith that you will be able to achieve it. There is never ever any need to take from others to solve problems.

ArtR (@ArtRemsik) reported@DayalSami Actually, Elon Musk is wealthy because he hasn’t started with nothing, invested his own efforts and money and reinvested his efforts and money, even when idiots were laughing at him for things like PayPal, laughing that electric cars would never work and laughing about his rocket Company Now that everything he’s done has made $1 trillion they want to ***** about how much of what Elon earned they deserve. Social media is the most antisocial thing ever, but what it does really well is reveals who the selfish greedy ******** of the world are, and they’re not the guy that created jobs and solve problems and Bill products that people want, their people that think they deserve any of what he has done when all they’ve done is complain.

⚡️𝚃𝙷𝙸𝙽𝙺 𝙰𝙱𝙾𝚄𝚃 𝙸𝚃⚡️ (@thinkabouditt) reported@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.

The Maldivian Economist (@TheEconomistMV) reported@HKurusee Receiving USD was easier before... but recently.. BML has been holding incoming TTs for weeks and asking for layers of documents as if every legitimate business payment is a crime scene.. So the problem is no longer only sending dollars out... even bringing dollars in has become painful!! PayPal may be useful.. but it does not fix the real disease: a broken dollar system pretending to be compliance!!

GhostofDan (@DanRunner42) reported$ADBE is where $PYPL has been for years now, a cash generating juggernaut that, nonetheless, gets hammered into the ground, due to market perception that it has no moat, and won't be viable in the long run... This stock has always scared me just looking at it's Volume Profile Ranges, very thin support until it get's into the $100 range, which is where it could likely be headed............ Losing $250 at the Ascending Blue 2/1 Gann Fan Angle was significant, Longs were making a stand there, and I think that's where Michael Burry bought as well, if it could've recovered there, it would've likely hit $400 next, then the perfect storm of high jobs/inflation numbers, Iran War flaring up again, and SpaceX IPO sucking out all the liquidity in the Market killed off high Multiple SAAS stocks again, and all that was *BEFORE* Adobe earnings announced it's CFO was leaving.... Maybe the market was over-reacting following earnings, especially with how good the numbers actually were, who knows, if it can regain the $205 level on Monday, at it's 12-24-2018 daily low, perhaps the stock can experience an epic Dead Cat Bounce back to re-test $250. If it loses $205 though, $175 at the Ascending 3/1 Gann Fan Angle is next. My Bearish case scenario, is this sucker hits $75 at the bottom of it's Ascending Gann Fan Structure, where my finger Icon is pointing, it'll be similar to what happened with Paypal, the Short sellers are looking to break the stock below the Gann Fan bottom support, to trade significantly lower.... How much lower, you say....well, Strong Volume Support doesn't begin till Adobe hits $45, down to $30. Which seems impossible, but, gotta fund the Anthropic and OpenAI IPOs somehow, right?
