  The PayPal money was gone. $180M down to almost nothing in a handful of years. Most founders would've folded, declared bankruptcy, walked away, started fresh. Instead, Elon did something that looked completely insane:

  Stop waiting for the perfect idea. Start, test, fail, listen, and pivot. Trial and error has built empires. Instagram started as a check-in app. Slack started as a video game. Shopify started as a snowboard store. Amazon started as an online bookstore. YouTube started as a video dating concept. Flickr started as an online game. Groupon started as a collective-action platform. PayPal started with PalmPilot payments. Twitch started as a lifecasting site. Nintendo started with playing cards. Nokia started as a paper mill. Avon started with books + perfume samples. Netflix started with DVDs by mail. Your first idea is rarely the final idea. Trial and error isn’t a backup plan. It’s the path.

  Sad news about the paypal mafia guy who paraded around shoveling soy-tier pharmaceuticals down his gullet for 4 years at the behest of absolutely no one. Let this be a stern reminder to the rest of us that your life is predetermined.

  📢 Notice for PayPal Payments If you have already sent your payment via PayPal, please send me a DM. There was an issue with some PayPal payments, so I need to verify your transaction.

  He makes $500/mo with 1 follower. A founder built Sochely — a local events platform he calls "the Yelp for activities." On IndieHackers, he reports $500/month in revenue. With just 1 follower. Here's how it works: • Users browse & join local events (baking classes, improv nights) • Creators pay to list events or subscribe for more features • Think "searchable real-life experiences" — not algorithm-pushed ads Tools likely used: • Google Maps or Mapbox API for location • Stripe/PayPal for payments • Possibly AI for search & recommendations The hard part: • Cold start — no events = no users, no users = no events • Content moderation — fake events kill trust Can you replicate it? Tough. Local events need heavy ops — signing venues, chasing users. Giants like Eventbrite & Meetup dominate. But if you niche down hard ("pet-friendly events" or "parent-child workshops"), you might find a wedge. The takeaway: You can make $500/mo with almost zero following. But don't build a platform first. Test with a WeChat group + docs. (Revenue self-reported by founder on IndieHackers, not independently verified.) Follow for more real AI money breakdowns. #indiehackers #sidehustle

  When Elon Musk's report card is written, there will be: Co-founded online bank X. com 1999, sold to PayPal. Joined Tesla as its largest investor 2004, a year after it was founded. Founded SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies Corporation) 2002. Acquired Twitter 2022. Founded xAI 2023. Ran DOGE 2025. DOGE shut down USAID in January and February 2025, locked employees out of their offices and cancelled contracts. Elon Musk posted, “We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. Could gone to some great parties. Did that instead.” Marco Rubio cut 83% of USAID programs. According to a peer reviewed study published in The Lancet, 91,839,663 deaths were avoided over a 21 year period by USAID. The Impact Counter shows the impact of the USAID shutdown frozen at the 1-year mark. 262,915 Adult Deaths and 518,428 Child Deaths. According to a peer reviewed study published in The Lancet, "Forecasting models predicted that the current steep [USAID] funding cuts could result in more than 14,051,750 (uncertainty interval 8,475,990–19,662,191) additional all-age deaths, including 4,537,157 (3,124,796–5,910,791) in children younger than age 5 years, by 2030." The 14,051,750 deaths forecast to result from USAID shutdown represented 2.34 times the 6,000,000 deaths in the Holocaust. The deaths were about 70.3% as many as the 20,000,000 estimated to have occurred in the COVID-29 pandemic. DOGE slashed the Federal workforce by 9%, but succeeded in reducing the Federal budget deficit less than one half of one percent. The Federal government is not Twitter.

  @AskPayPal I also tried using the messaging/support options, but the automated responses were not helpful, as there is no option related to a permanently limited account. Could you advise me on the appropriate channel or procedure to resolve this issue? I would appreciate your guidance.

  🎣 DFIR Suite API Spotlight: CheckPhish URL Scan You're triaging a suspected phishing email. The URL looks clean in VirusTotal. No hits in your threat intel feeds. But something feels off. This is where POST /phishing/checkphish earns its keep. It scans URLs in real-time using CheckPhish's detection engine — purpose-built to catch live phishing pages, tech support scams, and brand impersonation attempts that haven't made it into static blacklists yet. What you get back: disposition (clean/suspicious/phishing), the brand being targeted (Microsoft, PayPal, etc.), and a screenshot of the rendered page. That screenshot alone can confirm what logs can't — whether it's a convincing Office 365 login clone or a legitimate site. Practical scenario: User forwards you a "verify your account" email with a shortened link. You expand it, run it through /phishing/checkphish, and within seconds you have a verdict and visual proof. No need to spin up a sandboxed browser or wait for threat intel to catch up. Costs 2 credits per request. Available on all plans at hXXps://platform[.]dfir-lab[.]ch It's a fast, reliable check for the URLs that don't trigger your existing defenses — but probably should. #DFIR #ThreatIntel

  @xbloomii Not sure if this will help, but sometimes with PayPal they hold your money until you link an actual bank account to your PayPal account. That seemed to fix it for me.
