  @paulg The founder has the right instinct. Hardware companies require patient capital, sustained execution and real customer demand. Nvidia took roughly three decades to reach a $1 trillion valuation. Pre-humanoid, many ambitious robotics companies have struggled because commercializing hardware is expensive and slow. Like using Paypal proceeds to build Tesla, SW successes may create the capital required for more ambitious hardware bets. Good to see more investors betting the long game in HW!

  @BrillVFX I normally don’t make posts like this, but after giving this person more than enough time, patience, and opportunities to communicate with me, I feel like this needs to be made public. On July 8th, I paid him to create an intro for my team. We said deadline was 1 week. Its is now Aug 7,2026. After receiving the payment, he sent me 1-2 updates showing that he had started working on the project. That was essentially the only real progress/update I received. I didn’t rush him. I gave him roughly 1–2 weeks without bothering him because I understood that creative work takes time. After that period passed with no update, I reached out simply asking about the status of the intro. It then took him another week just to respond. When he finally responded, he explained that he was dealing with a situation involving his family problems. I completely respected that. I didn’t argue with him, pressure him, or immediately ask for my money back. I gave him additional time because I understood that real-life situations come before a project. Another week passed. I reached out again asking for an update. No response. From that point forward, I continued trying to contact him and no communication. At this point, an entire month has passed since I paid him, I still do not have the intro I paid for, and I have not received consistent communication regarding the project. Eventually, after repeatedly trying to handle this privately, I told him that if I continued receiving no response, I would have no choice but to make the situation public and pursue a refund through PayPal. I gave this situation every opportunity to be resolved privately before posting anything publicly. I was patient, I respected the personal circumstances he told me about, and I gave him significantly more time because of them. This post is not being made to send harassment toward anybody. I’m posting this to document my experience and warn other people who may consider purchasing work from him. Everything I’m stating here will be accompanied by screenshots so people can look at the timeline, messages, payment, and communication themselves and form their own opinion. I paid for a service on July 8th. I gave him weeks of patience and multiple opportunities to communicate with me. I still have not received what I paid for. At this point, based on my experience, I believe I was scammed. I have opened/pursued a dispute through PayPal to recover my money. I genuinely wanted to handle this privately, but there comes a point where ignoring a paying customer and failing to deliver what they purchased needs to be addressed. Receipts/screenshots below.

  @KissMyCarol Too much de-banking and platforms making decisions based on social credit. I know the D banking has greatly improved and is likely not going to come back in a big way. But I had a PayPal account and they had put out several years ago that if you made unacceptable statements on social media Facebook etc. that they would confiscate up to $2500 from your bank account And sequester that money for your PayPal purchases. So I eliminated my PayPal account and I refuse to work with any corporation that threatens me. I don't think that X will do anything like that but I don't know what will happen down the road and I just don't trust what already happened to me Also how's your first night of retirement?

  @ChelzorStreams I know the feeling. I use Firefox, i have all my passwords and bookmarks there. But for some reason Paypal just stopped working on Firefox. Google the problem: "Clear Cache", did that, still not wokring... so installed chrome whenever i want to buy something...

  @femceldreamz I’m sorry you didn’t get tix :( once it found them for me I didn’t have problems checking out. It might have been your payment method? My bank flags certain bigger transactions as fraud sometimes and declines them. Do you have a different way to pay tomorrow? I used PayPal.

  @AskPayPal @EyoladeAbass In other words, don’t expect the issue to ever be resolved because their help center isn’t monitored by human beings and they engage in fraud.

  The Right Rationale (@Right_Rationale) reported 27 minutes ago

  @jvkenya Yes, you could read the article, where I go through the myth of that story: The “emerald mine heir” story is equally false. Musk left South Africa at 17 with roughly $2,000 Canadian dollars. He worked in a lumber mill. He lived in a youth hostel and later with relatives. After college he was more than $100,000 in debt. His first company, Zip2, began with a single computer he had built himself. Because he could not afford a second machine, he coded at night so the same computer could run the company’s server during the day. He wrote the initial platform himself. His father’s brief involvement with emeralds in the early 1980s produced no lasting wealth; by 2000 Errol Musk was bankrupt and later became financially dependent on his son. The capital that later funded Tesla and SpaceX came from the sale of Zip2 and then PayPal - companies Musk built from near-zero.

  @PayPal Placed an international @Etsy order that took 28 days to arrive damaged & missing items. To keep buyer protection, I should've escalated to PayPal day 1 to freeze seller funds. Giving them time to send a replacement exceeded that window. 30 days is wild with how slow Etsy can be.

  @tomochingus It worked, we are soooo back 🫡🫡🫡 Really glad I was able to buy it... At first I got sad because I thought it was an issue on my end (sometimes PayPal doesn't accept my card) and I thought I wouldn't be able to buy it... But it worked!!! Thank you for your hard work on the zine

  Been holding base:0x5576d6ed9181f2225aff5282ac0ed29f755437ea since way back, and they've done nothing but put their head down and ship the whole time. Now they've got a seat at the table with Mastercard, PayPal and HSBC on agentic payments. Grabbed some more today.

  @ArmandDoma It is hard though, right? Because, the PayPal mafia model is to pull a bunch of disconnected nodes together. You fund a lot of startups, some of them succeed. The successful ones consolidate into something greater than the sum of their parts. The problem with regulating ai is..

  @PyroPupCenter @ZillaVader The best thing that anyone can do at this point is if you’ve already purchased any of the figures, challenge the purchase with your bank, PayPal, etc.. Novel Horizons cannot issue refunds for anyone.
