  @AlanKohler @abcnews Alan, some factual errors here. SpaceX and Tesla were formed separately from the proceeds of Elon’s sale of PayPal. SpaceX didn’t rely on the original Tesla Roadster to get going. The point of satellites in space isn’t that they are closer to the sun, but that they can be permanently in sunlight and with no atmospheric energy losses the solar panels can produce ~5x what they can on Earth (there is no need for batteries in these orbits). And in the near 0 K temperature in the vacuum of space, the radiative cooling is effective and also free. Thirdly, I think most retail investors are purchasing shares for long-term holds, rather than short-term pump-and-dump.

  There is a version of ecom failure nobody talks about publicly. Not a bad product. Not a failed ad account. Not an inventory disaster. A merchant account termination. The brand is profitable. The product works. Customers are happy overall. But the chargeback ratio crept past 1% over several months and nobody was watching it closely enough. The processor sends a warning. Then another. Then terminates. Overnight, the brand cannot process cards. Shopify Payments is gone. Stripe is gone. PayPal is restricted. The only options left are high-risk processors charging 3 to 5% transaction fees with 10 to 15% rolling reserves held for 6 months. That is what a chargeback problem actually costs at its worst. But here is the thing most people miss in the middle of it. The ratio does not have to cross 1% to cause damage. Visa's monitoring program flags merchants at 0.9%. Mastercard's starts at 1% but begins informal flagging earlier. Processors have their own internal thresholds below the card network limits. A brand sitting at 0.7% can still find themselves in a conversation with their processor about account stability. The damage does not start at the warning. It starts months earlier, quietly, while the rate is climbing and nobody is running a system to stop it. Disputely prevents chargebacks before they are filed. Wins the ones that go through. And keeps the ratio visible in real time so there are no surprises. The brands that avoid this problem entirely are not lucky. They built infrastructure around a metric most people ignore until it becomes a crisis.

  @46_cxx @BluCloud64 @jonkentcomrade Why would they make rockets to travel to another planet use as an island when no normal could live there for 200 years when he could've simply bought an island with his PayPal earnings in the 90s and saved himself the trouble of revolutionizing space technology

  So with everybody losing their minds, and trying to confirm, or getting insider information, all we know is: - Ninja Theory, Compulsion Games, and Double Fine may be the ones in danger of getting closed or spun off, with other potential studios being in danger. - Arkane Studios may or may not be at risk of getting closed. - Head of XBOX Game Studios Craig Duncan and Chief of Staff Louise O’Connor stepped down. - Treyarch Studio Head Mark Gordon stepped down. - Exclusives may or may not come back. - XBOX maybe getting a "Buy Now, Pay Later" system via partners like Klarna, PayPal, etc., for hardware, games, or accessories. Any other "maybe" I forgot to add? Because all we have now is speculation about events happening within XBOX.

  That said, your daughter is texting her body—probably **** by statistics—to her boyfriend. Sorry … 🙏💔 Social media is personal. We choose to be anonymous when we want to deceive. We give the government our ID, and even airlines require a picture of our ID and face scan when we check in for a flight online. PayPal does too. Just did it yesterday. The distrust lies more in the terrible justice system in the UK—prison for posts…

  @octal Interesting idea, but why do you think this is replicable? Elon had a very early big exit ($22M from selling Zip2 at 27 years old). Gemini estimates roughly 1000 people in the U.S. under 27 years old with a $20M net worth or higher: - Most of them inherit it. - Most of the rest are athletes or entertainers. - The few tech entrepreneurs aren't liquid, so they can't invest in a new venture. If that wasn't hard enough, he put all his wealth into paypal/x.com, which netted him $180M that he tripled down on into SpaceX, Telsa and SolarCity. Nearly impossible to replicate any one of these moves, much all three.

  @digitalassetbuy PayPal and Ripple have very strong ties together from the early days. PayPal was a Zero to One idea and eBay was the catalyst. It allowed PP to get massive volume quickly while integrating frictionless retail payment flow. Ripple is solving a similar issue for global banking. 021

  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.

  @AskPayPal Bought on eBay via PayPal (Citi card) on June 2 and cancelled right away. PayPal shows refund issued, but after 14 days it's still not on my Citi card. Direct Citi payment refunds appear instantly. Why is PayPal so slow??? Never using it again. 😤

  @RoKhanna Ro, you're a multi centi-millionaire. Your worth more today (not adjusted for inflation) than Elon was when he sold PayPal, and on his road to becoming a trillionaire, he nearly went bankrupt several times. Dont you think you could take say 100 million of your own money and start a for profit business that uses innovative technology to solve those problems? How do we make food cheaper but good quality? How do we make healthcare cheaper, but good quality? How do we make childcare affordable, but good quality? Education...etc. etc. Elon started out with ~ 150 million and 2 dreams: decarbonize transportation (which everyone told him was impossible) And make life multiplanetary. Which is at least two orders of magnitude more pie in the sky than building viable electric cars. Both of these ideas, when posited in the very very early 2000s sounded more insane than the entrepreneurial endeavor I suggested that you embark on above. So I have faith that you will be able to achieve it. There is never ever any need to take from others to solve problems.

  @KourraVT -It's not cash--it's stock. -Not all problems are money problems to begin with. -His co-founding of PayPal, heavy investments in Tesla, and creation of SpaceX do not preempt others getting out of poverty. -Engineers and workers at these locations weren't ever going to grow and deliver food or build houses. They were going to do engineer things. -To benefit from the labor of others, you must bring value to others. The primary cause of poverty is not making good faith efforts to do things other people find valuable.
