  Like I just needed a W right now and the fact that melon got rid of paypal as an option ******* sucksssssss. I didn't have any issues with this last year or when I used it a few years ago, OR when I used Melon Global for fanclubs. I never had this payment problem.

  @TiffaHorror @PayPal There is also a very specific number on the page that refers to me, which they can look up and see the source of the problem. I use Cloudflare and am not a tech person but have somehow managed to fix similar problems with them on my own

  @paypal had a glitch this morning and didn't process a payment. I had to initiate the payment again. I called and someone cancelled the one with the glitch. Told me the money would be back in my account withing 2 hours. It's been 8 hours now. I called back. Got stuck going around in circles in that God awful AI phone system for 15 f'ing minutes. Hung up, called back, lied to the AI agent about what I needed. Got another person on the phone, put me on hold, came back and said MY MONEY that they held out that was supposed to pay for my transaction would not be put back into my account for 2-5 days. A PAYPAL GLITCH and I have to wait to get my f'ing money back into my account????? I asked to speak to a supervisor and he said, "Oh, we don't have anyone available." Dude, you didn't even ask for one. I've been with PayPal for 23 years - a BUSINESS ACCOUNT for 23 YEARS and this is how they treat me! I want my f'ing money! @AskPayPal

  This is not just about memories. This email is linked to my Upwork (Odesk), Payoneer, PayPal, Apple ID. My entire livelihood and financial access are blocked. I am a professional and this AI error is causing me severe damage. Please prioritize a human review. @Google @TeamYouTube

  @soobyuyu @yuyuspirate There were issues with the recurring payment over the past two years or so. Mostly Paypal and people who had changed their credit cards in the meantime. They want to simplify that, so now everyone has to "manually" pay again, means you can update your payment method if needed

  Okay, didn't know it was such an issue for some folks. Typically all my subs are through Apple pay or Paypal. If not possible I don't bother. Easy to cancel.

  Peter Thiel and David Sacks were going to write a book about PayPal. Elon Musk’s chapter was titled “The Man Who Knew Nothing About Risk.” The PayPal Mafia. The sharpest venture minds of a generation. People who had built with Musk. Watched him operate up close. They thought he was out of his mind. Thiel: “When Elon was building both Tesla and SpaceX in the 2000s, people thought he was just really, really crazy.” This was not the press misunderstanding a founder. This was his own people. And they were not wrong by accident. They were wrong by design. Because the framework everyone uses to calculate risk is built on one assumption. That the laws governing what is possible are fixed. Musk did not share that assumption. Thiel figured that out later. Thiel: “If one of the two companies had succeeded, you would say, well, maybe he still got really lucky. But when two out of two companies that people thought were completely harebrained both succeed, you have to reassess.” One success is luck. Two is a different kind of intelligence entirely. Musk was simultaneously trying to privatize space and electrify transportation. Two industries with the most entrenched players on Earth. Two that had eaten billions in failed attempts. Two that governments spent decades trying to move and couldn’t. He did both. At the same time. Nearly went bankrupt doing it. And came out the other side owning both. That is not luck. That is not even genius. That is a different relationship with reality itself. The conventional risk model measures one thing. The probability of losing what you already have. Capital at risk. Downside scenarios. Protect the position. Musk was running a different equation entirely. He was calculating the cost of not trying. The risk of building a reusable rocket and failing is a rounding error. The risk of humanity remaining trapped on a single planet forever is not. The conventional investor sees a 90% chance of losing everything and calls it irrational. Musk saw a 100% chance of civilizational stagnation if no one moved and called that the real risk. The math was never wrong. The lens was just incomprehensibly larger. Thiel: “Somehow the rest of us are too risk-averse, or there’s something about risk he knows that we don’t.” That is Peter Thiel. One of the most ruthless, clear-eyed thinkers in venture capital history admitting the model broke. Not that Musk got lucky. That the rest of them were running a flawed framework and didn’t know it. That should keep you up at night. Because if the PayPal Mafia had the wrong model, the question is not whether Musk is exceptional. The question is how many other things the conventional framework is catastrophically wrong about right now. How many ideas getting buried today look obvious in ten years. How many founders are being told they don’t understand risk when they are the only ones who do. The chapter never got written. The man it was supposed to warn us about built two of the most important companies in human history instead. They are still writing the explanation. He already moved on to the next impossible thing.

  @shimipan Ahh that sucks, Paypal and many payment processors have become really overly sensitive to things and it's a big problem. I hope you can find an alternative soon

  @whowhatsmoke @FearedBuck Ye headlined Wireless Festival (July 10-12 in London), prompting sponsors like Pepsi, Diageo, Rockstar Energy, and PayPal to pull support and branding. UK MPs and PM Keir Starmer called it "deeply concerning." The issue traces to Ye's 2022 public antisemitic statements—praising Hitler, saying he was "going death con 3 on Jewish people," and more—which led to Adidas, Gap, and others dropping him. No new incidents cited here; backlash is from that history. Festival still plans to proceed.
