  A 19-YEAR-OLD GIRL IS PEELING AN ORANGE ON CAMERA. SHE JUST REVEALED HOW SHE BUILT A $12,000/MONTH SOFTWARE EMPIRE WITHOUT KNOWING HOW TO CODE. She tells her audience she has a side hustle that a 10-year-old could do. She shows a PayPal notification for $485. Her comments are full of people accusing her of selling a course. She isn't. She is running a micro-software empire from her bedroom. She goes to website, an AI coding platform. She asks it to generate 10 simple app ideas that solve boring, everyday problems. She picks one. A subscription tracker that finds and cancels forgotten gym memberships. She copies the idea and pastes it into the builder. The AI writes the entire backend, designs the user interface, and publishes the app. In 5 minutes. She puts a $2 paywall on it. She doesn't try to build the next Facebook. She doesn't hire expensive developers. She builds disposable, hyper-specific apps that solve one tiny problem. She has built 40 of these micro-apps. They sit on the internet like digital vending machines. Every day, people find them on Google. They pay $2 to cancel a subscription, track their plant watering schedule, or split a restaurant bill. She gets a PayPal notification. She clears $12,000 a month in pure passive income while eating an orange on TikTok. The internet is full of people spending 4 years learning how to code just to beg for a job at a tech company. She bypassed the entire tech industry. She doesn't want a job. She just lets the AI write the code, and she collects the tolls.

  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.

  @__Con_ Sofi might become like PayPal. For years people talk about how undervalued it is but it keeps going down and has been a bad investment.

  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:

  “I made so many mistakes at the beginning of Tesla, almost every decision we made was wrong.” - Elon Musk At PayPal, whenever they had to choose between two equally appealing decisions, they just picked one and moved on instead of debating it. Most times they would choose the suboptimal version, but they moved on with speed. It is ok to make wrong decisions to start, but it is important to fix what you did wrong and adapt to reality.

  Trial and error has built empires. Start, test, fail, listen, and pivot. 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.

  @PayPal what's the point in using you for online safety? Twice I've had an issue over the years and both times it's for defective items but you find in favour of the seller. I've been scammed out of money and your if no help. Off to the ombudsman again. #PaypalScamPal

  !!! Advisory !!! I have received multiple Discord friend requests Impersonating artists I work with and a creator I don't know in the last 48 hours. NovaYstudio Altaluna Ops_saki natalie_gabrielle I've also heard a huge spike in this happening to others over the last 2-3 days. Please be careful on discord. Discord is being used to deliver remote access trojans. asking you to do collabs and install a file, re=downloads of art, or asking you to download corruped mods on legitimate mod sites like curseforge and modrynth. or they ask you to enter a contest like a Mr. Beast contest for money. when they get access, They clone your browser session and use it to bypass login and 2fa and access all of your accounts. To places like youtube discord twitch paypal email etc. they think its you already logged in, no password no token code, they are just in! they then change all of your info and lock you out. Then they use your accounts to try and infect your friends with the remote access trojan as well. you could receive a message from a long time friend asking you to download a Minecraft mod to play with them, and you don't know they have been hacked because they scanned your previous conversations with them to pick what they are going to trick you with. Please be careful and its say to say but, if a friend suddenly and randomly asks you to download something make sure its really them in control of the discord account first. If they attempt to impersonate me at some point - I never send blind Discord friend invites. Please be safe
