  @wholemars From PayPal refund button to the first trillion, the man really turned rockets into a rounding error.

  @delilaartx honestly the professionalism is the least of the issues. the real problem is that minors can't legally sign a contract for commercial use, and their paypal or strepie can get frozen at any second for tos violations.

  @TomatoBubble @AlinaStJoh34202 Elon started with his brother building Sun City Solar. He sunk every thing he had into it & made a fortune. Then he created PayPal. Sunk his fortune into it and made millions. Saying Elon never created anything in BS & X should shut you down!!!

  @Steve9418 They have issues with PayPal apparently so can't use that lol. Sending the money is an option though. They don't have family they trust either unfortunately.

  @greengizie @akintollgate I get your point. Once trust is broken it’s hard to go back. That’s why many people now keep alternatives like @Vbanapp around for international transfers, virtual cards and cross border payments instead of relying solely on PayPal.

  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.

  @simonateba Shane on you for wanting to steal other peoples hard earned money. He doesn’t live a lavish life. Guarantee you that you have more worldly possessions than he does. He invests every penny he’s ever made back into building things that help the world. He sold PayPal, and rather than just call it and never work again, he invested all of it and has grown it. Doesn’t own a home, sleeps on the floor in the office, couch hops friends homes while traveling. So ya, just shut up. You are just trying to stir trouble and be a thief

  @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

  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.

  @WarOfFreedom @Rothmus He was famously pushed out of PayPal for his terrible ideas that he kept insisting on. One of them being "change the name to X" actually.
