  I need to stress that this is NOT Anti-X on my part. This is constructive criticism: this is clearly something that's broken (another follow of mine is getting almost all of her posts blurred, including a static photo of a kitten). And I'm currently going to have to ask PayPal Credit for a refunds on an xAI Supergrok that has been being billed two months after I canceled it. It's not unreasonable to ask for guarantees of safety and to fix demonstrable failures that could block access to private property before committing our money to you, even in an app we like and yse daily.

  Dogecoin has always had something most tokens spend years trying to buy, actual cultural distribution. Everyone knows the name, that was never the problem. The problem was always the same one @RobinhoodCrypto is solving from the other direction. Distribution without real infrastructure underneath it just sits there. House of Doge just partnered with Paxos to plug DOGE into the rails already running PayPal, Venmo, and Interactive Brokers. That’s hundreds of millions of existing users one integration away from being able to actually use it, not just recognize it. Distribution has always been the hard problem in crypto. DOGE solved that part a decade ago by accident. Whether the infrastructure catches up is the more interesting question now, same one we’re watching everywhere else.

  If you're building a Grok Bot team, I'd start with these six roles. I moved some work from other agent tools into Grok Bot and reassigned ownership. A Bot needs recurring work, its own memory and task list, and regular handoffs. One-off capabilities stay as Skills or routines. 1. Nexus (Coordination) This is the Bot I use most. It reads today's tasks and each Bot's checkpoint, sets priorities, then hands the work to the right role. It also runs the nightly review, but only updates one TEAM_ALIGNMENT.md file. Conflicts, external messages, spending, and changes to important files come back to me. 2. Scout (Research and Leads) Scout reads X, GitHub, documentation, papers, and videos, and runs the daily content radar. Every result needs a source, a reason it is worth following, and a clear next owner. Content signals go to Quill, customer leads go to Guide, and technical issues go to Forge. 3. Quill (Content) Quill reads my writing rules, previous work, and approved phrasing, then turns research into posts, articles, and replies. When facts are missing, it asks Scout. For code or product details, it asks Forge. It prepares drafts but never publishes on its own. 4. Forge (Engineering and Automation) Forge writes code, builds automations and MCPs, deploys, and verifies the result. Guide can call it when a customer asks a technical question. Nexus can hand it repetitive work to turn into a tool. Every delivery needs test results, screenshots, or files I can inspect. A delivery does not count as complete without that evidence. 5. Guide (Customers and Delivery) Guide manages customers, prospects, briefs, feedback, delivery, and follow-up. Each important customer gets a separate context packet containing recent conversations, current goals, promises made, and open problems. Guide asks Scout to research a company or contact, and asks Forge for technical answers. Customer emails and messages remain drafts. 6. Ledger (Finance and Reconciliation) Ledger reads Wise, PayPal, invoices, and subscription data through my self-hosted MCP, then handles reconciliation, revenue records, and anomaly alerts. The real API keys stay on my own server. Ledger can prepare payment or refund recommendations, but every financial write still needs my approval. Once the roles are set, give each Bot the Plugins it needs. For example, Nexus can use Gmail, Calendar, Slack, and Granola. Quill can read Drive and Notion. Guide can use Gmail, Slack, and meeting notes. Forge can connect to code repositories and cloud services. Ledger continues to use my self-hosted MCP. Repeated methods become Skills. Work that needs to run on a schedule becomes a routine. That creates a basic loop: Plugins provide data and tools → a Skill defines the method → a routine triggers on schedule → the Bot completes the task or hands it to another Bot → I approve external messages, publishing, and financial actions For example, Guide's heartbeat checks the customer inbox on a schedule. When a new email arrives, the Gmail Plugin reads the full thread. Guide then opens that customer's context packet to see what was discussed before and what is currently blocked. If the email contains a technical question, Guide asks Forge to verify the answer. Once Forge replies, Guide writes the email draft and labels it: BOT DRAFT · NOT SENT · HUMAN REVIEW REQUIRED Nexus adds the email to my pending report and reminds me that a customer reply needs review. The email is sent only after I approve it. I wouldn't create separate Bots for meeting prep, 1:1 reviews, data analysis, revenue forecasting, slides, or call reviews. Meeting prep and 1:1 reviews are Nexus routines. Ledger or Guide can run forecasting and data analysis when needed. Slides are a Skill called by Quill or Forge. Scout finds prospects, and Guide handles the follow-up. Bot = owns an ongoing work queue and needs its own memory Skill = a reusable method Routine = a task triggered on a schedule Packet = context for one customer or project Connector / MCP = access to external data and tools I start new capabilities as Skills. Once something has recurring work, its own state, and frequent handoffs with other Bots, then I create a Bot for it. This takes me back to the OpenClaw setup I built six months ago. I used almost the same roles then, but had to wire the whole thing together myself across a VPS, Vercel, and Supabase. The part I wanted most was smooth coordination: Bots messaging each other in the background, handing off tasks, and talking in a group. I spent way too many hours trying to make that work and probably lost some hair over it lol. The UX was still clunky. Six months later, bigger companies are moving into this space. They’re treating coordination as part of the product, which is a very different route from the DIY agent stacks I was building. Grok Bot’s group chats still aren’t perfect, but the handoffs and background messaging already feel much more natural.

  @unhealthytruth Erin, I'm looking into this. Perhaps you can too. The mother is running this foundation in her son's name, The Jansen Rane Panettiere Art Foundation. But it doesn't have a 501c3 non-profit chairty status. So where is the money going, how is the money accounted for and how much is the mother paying herself? And how much in taxes has she paid on the revenue. The donation icon on the website connects to Paypal, but it is currently not working on the site.

  Every week I see artists make tweets about PayPal suspending accounts. Make a business account. Seriously, I've survived disputes and refunds solely because I have a business account. Of course you'll get in trouble if you're caught doing business on a personal account like??

  @lja_xx @DodgeDJohnson Happens to many people. It is a common scam on ebay going back since the start. People buy a broken camera for example, buy a new working one, then return the broken one in its place and ebay and paypal side with the buyer. It is recommend to take photos of the product.

  Elon Musk's best friend staged an intervention to stop him from starting SpaceX. Adeo Ressi had known him since college. When Elon said he was going to spend his PayPal fortune building rockets, Ressi did what any good friend would do. He compiled a video montage of rockets exploding. Every famous launch failure in history, cut together into one film of fireballs, and he sat Elon down and made him watch it. The message was simple. This is what happens to rockets. This is what will happen to your money. Nations with unlimited budgets fail at this. You are one man. Friends flew in. They took turns explaining why this was insane. The aerospace industry agreed with them. Everyone who loved him and everyone who understood rockets said the same word. Don't. Elon watched the entire video. Thanked his best friend. And started SpaceX anyway. Here's the part nobody talks about. Ressi wasn't wrong. The first rocket exploded. The second exploded. The third exploded, exactly like the montage predicted. Elon lost almost everything, exactly as warned. Then the fourth one reached orbit and everything the video predicted became the reason the story is legendary. The people who love you will always show you the explosion reel. They're not lying. The explosions are real. What they can't show you is the launch after the last explosion, because that footage doesn't exist yet. You have to film it yourself.

  $PYPL - the thesis played out. It just wasn’t the PayPal I wanted. I bought this quite a long time ago because the valuation was very low versus the cash they were producing. The downside case was that if the price got ugly enough, buybacks would grind it back, or someone would make a bid. That’s what happened. The bid is not where I’d like it to be. It did recoup what I’d lost. I didn’t sell into the offer, and I didn’t double down at the bottom. There might still be talks of a higher number, and the tape has been doing well. I’m thinking about selling now, or holding a while. Waiting and hoping for a better bid is starting to feel unnecessary. This is likely not the company I want to own for a longer time. Especially with Alex Chriss gone. Checkout is still barely growing, accounts are flat, and the growth I originally thought was possible looks a lot less likely to me.
