  After PayPal, Elon Musk could have started another internet company. He says it would have been easy. The internet already had plenty of talented founders and plenty of capital. In his view, one more internet company would not make him especially useful. So he moved toward the two problems he thought could have a bigger effect on the world: sustainable energy and space exploration. It is a brutal filter for choosing what to work on. Forget which market looks easiest. Ask where your effort could make a difference that would otherwise be missing.

  Just a heads up, had a few messages off of people. Looks like that Matt Forth may be at it. Asking to get bets on and or PayPal loans whilst awaiting compensation. Avoid like the plague. Thought he was a sound lad who had his issues but no excuses.

  @Jarhead3534 @WeedVet I quit selling on eBay around 2018 or so. Once shipping rates really started increasing. Between eBay fees, PayPal fees, and shipping costs, their overall cut eats well past any potential profit margin. And then there's the problem ppl, and eBay always sides with the buyer.

  People, the last two days have sucked ***. Someone had been trying to get into my Facebook which I don’t even use, my bath and body works account, my Netflix, etc for a couple weeks. What they did finally manage to do was hack my Apple ID. Once they were in there with access to my bank card and a couple credit cards from my Apple Wallet. They locked me out of certain accounts and started shopping on my dime. I’ve had to lock down my bank account, PayPal and cancel a few credit cards. Alllll while I’m on vacation. I still don’t have access to a few things but it’s being worked on. They even hijacked my YouTube account!!!! I got that back this morning. I’m so ******* pissed. Soooo if any of my memberships get wonky this is why. It’s going to take me forever to clean up this mess and get new bank accounts.

  @AskPayPal I created an account using an email & mobile number and I forgot the password. Now when I reset the password it's calling my mobile number for verification but calling isn't working. And I don't have any option to change the mobile number or just continue with email for verification. How do I login?

  Imagine having £400/$500 in a PayPal account but for various reasons you don’t sign in for 3+ yrs. When you try, you’re told your account has been deleted & all your money with it! Why are people saying it’s ok for #PlayStation to do this with game purchases? #digital #PSN

  Had to treat myself to a small jar of Nutella due to stress now down to $1 and change. If anyone wants to help me get a days worth of groceries you have my tags for PayPal and C@sh App. Food stamps hit on the first.

  What Would Happen If Elon Musk Had Been Born in China? This is Mr. Ma, a barbecue chef at a restaurant in Tongchuan, Shaanxi Province. Because he looks strikingly like Elon Musk, a customer took his photo and uploaded it online, unexpectedly making him famous. He said that over the past two days, more than a dozen people have asked to take photos with him, while several others have approached him about possible collaborations. In fact, there have long been many discussions on the Chinese internet about what would have happened if Elon Musk had been born in China. One fairly representative article argued: "Let us suppose that, in 1971, twenty people with the same potential as Elon Musk were also born into ordinary Chinese families. "If they were fascinated by science and technology, the most they could probably do would be to join an extracurricular hobby group at a children’s activity center and build model airplanes. "In 1981, a computer cost tens of thousands of yuan. There was absolutely no way an ordinary Chinese family could afford one. "It would not be until the 1990s that they might finally get access to computers in a school computer lab, where one hour of use could cost about as much as an entire meal. "But students had to attend morning reading sessions every day and evening self-study classes at night. Where would they find the time to learn programming? "Besides, what if they spent all their time messing around with these 'useless' things and then failed to get into a good university? 'A mild-tempered father might patiently lecture them: 'Focus on your studies. Stop wasting your time on improper pursuits,' until they finally gave up on their own. "A bad-tempered father would simply confiscate everything. If they dared to argue, he would grab something and beat them. "From the first grade onward, they would have to devote all their energy to exam scores. Otherwise, they might not even make it into university. "By the time they finally entered college, all their sharp edges would have been worn away. They would have been molded into conformity and would have had almost no chance of becoming another Elon Musk. "If Musk had been placed in China, his life would probably have followed a path like this: "No one would have paid for software like Zip2, an online city-guide and business-directory platform. Lenovo would not have acquired it. It would have ended up like Zhang Xiaolong’s Foxmail: users would simply use pirated copies. "Have you ever seen Lenovo pay a huge amount of money to acquire independently developed personal-computer software? "So Musk would probably have starved to death at the age of 28 and gone to meet Karl Marx. "Suppose he somehow survived until the age of 31 and developed a payment platform like PayPal. The major Chinese internet giants—Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent—could simply copy it. Why would anyone pay to acquire his company? "Have you ever seen BAT pay an enormous price to acquire an internet application developed by an individual entrepreneur? Investors would know that his product would be copied, so they would refuse to fund him from the very beginning. This time, he would definitely be finished. "Even if BAT did not copy him, could Musk manage the necessary connections? Could he obtain the required licenses? "Those are not things an ordinary person can easily secure, as everyone understands. "Operating such a business without a license would be illegal. In the best-case scenario, the authorities would order him to shut down. In a more serious case, they might accuse him of illegal fundraising, and Musk could end up spending the rest of his life in prison. "Even if he successfully built PayPal and had more than a billion yuan in his hands, could he establish a company like SpaceX? "That is the domain of the state-owned aerospace corporations. "Even if he somehow obtained permission to enter the industry, no one would provide him with the necessary components or support. "If one private individual were allowed to accomplish all that, where would it leave the millions of people working within China’s state aerospace system? "I guess that, had Musk been born in China, the best possible outcome for him would have resembled Zhang Xiaolong’s career path: working for someone who had the connections and qualifications needed to obtain the necessary licenses."
