  @alissamacchia3 @LolaPatolla @_Cass__ Kinda weird….as it’s a complete duplicate. Website goes directly to the legit one. All I can think is there would be switch down the road. Previous attempts would be a redirect to a scam PayPal.

  @PayPal The fact that you have a link for help but the WORST Customer Service is beyond comical, your service blocks and restricts accounts on simple transcribe but allows 1000's of purchases with no limitations, trying to resolve issues is useless with this service

  Do you know Chime Bank does not protect against fraud through their online funds transfer system. Unlike PayPal or Venmo, Chime will not refund in the event of a successfully disputed payment. I am referring an issue to IC3 and the FTC in an attempt to force accountability for scammers who use Chime for this purpose.

  Rule #1: Reject the Store Credit Trap They will offer store credit first. Never accept it. The EU framework requires the refund to your original payment method within 14 days of them receiving the item back. If they claim "international card processing issues," demand a bank transfer or PayPal reversal. Store credit is a liability waiver dressed as kindness.

  @babadookspinoza It took Elon 24 years since selling PayPal to make one trillion dollars. In that time our government has overspent by 33 trillion dollars. The left doesn't even want to fix things anymore, they just want to punish people more successful than them. ***** in a bucket mentality.

  @MikeBenzCyber Elon didn't create paypal or tesla and he couldn't have done any of that other **** without all the workers AND OUR TAX MONEY. I mean, we realize you need to suck down his **** and all because you're desperately trying to level jump into their crowd but get real, dweeb

  @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.

  When 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.

  Most people scroll past these tools every day. A few figured out they’re ATMs. Here’s what 2026 actually looks like for people who paid attention 🧵 [1/6] Most people see an AI chatbot. Maya sees $7,200/month. A 26-year-old from Kyiv figured out that every local business has a website that hasn’t been touched since 2019. No chat. No automation. No follow-up. She opens Claude. Builds a custom AI assistant for the business in 40 minutes. Books a call. Shows the demo live. They sign the same day. $400 setup. $600/month retainer. 12 clients. The businesses haven’t changed. She just showed them what they were missing. [2/6] Most people see a boring spreadsheet. James sees $9,500/month. A 31-year-old from Lisbon noticed that every e-commerce brand has the same problem — thousands of product descriptions written by someone who didn’t care. He built a Claude pipeline. Drops in a product CSV. Gets back 500 descriptions in 11 minutes. SEO-optimized. Brand-voiced. Done. Charges $800 per batch. $1,200 for rush. No employees. No office. Just a prompt and a PayPal link. [3/6] Most people see a Telegram group. Sofia sees $6,000/month. A 28-year-old from Belgrade watches on-chain wallets that move before anyone notices. Every morning she writes 3 paragraphs about what shifted overnight. 200 subscribers. $29/month each. Her tool cost: Claude API + a $6 server. She spends 45 minutes a day. The data was always public. She just started packaging it. [4/6] Most people see a podcast nobody asked for. Carlos sees $8,400/month. A 33-year-old from Mexico City realized that CEOs want to be on podcasts but hate cold emails. He uses AI to research 50 executives per week — their recent interviews, their talking points, their gaps. Then writes a hyper-personalized pitch for each one. Booking rate: 34%. He sells the booked appearances to podcast hosts at $600 each. 14 deals last month. [5/6] Most people see a language barrier. Nina sees $5,800/month. A 24-year-old from Warsaw figured out that Japanese, Korean and Arabic creators make incredible content — that nobody in the West ever sees. She runs it through AI translation + light editing. Reposts with credit. Builds the audience. Sells newsletter sponsorships at $400 per slot. Two slots per week. The content already existed. She just moved it. [6/6] The tools are free or close to it. The information is public. The opportunities are sitting on the same streets everyone walks past. The only difference between them and everyone else? They stopped waiting to feel ready. They just started. What’s stopping you from doing the same? ↓ Drop your skill below — I’ll tell you exactly how to monetize it with AI right now.

  Settleme solved a problem I had: PayPal was bleeding me 10-15% per payment. Freelancers losing margins. Merchants losing money. Africa getting worse rates than everywhere else. Simple fix: cut the middleman. But yesterday, they hinted something big and it solve big problem.

  Question for artists who use Ko-fi: Have you ever had an issue where people couldn't donate to you? I've already had two people who were unable to donate. There don't seem to be any issues with my profile. I have PayPal connected, but I don't have Stripe set up.
