    Please actually read the article

    The company was originally established by Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, and Luke Nosek in December 1998 as Fieldlink. Later it was renamed Confinity,[9] a company which developed security software for hand-held devices.[10] When it had no success with that business model, it switched its focus to a digital wallet.[11] The first version of the PayPal electronic payments system was launched in 1999.[12]

    In March 2000, Confinity merged with X.com, an online financial services company founded in March 1999 by Elon Musk, Harris Fricker, Christopher Payne, and Ed Ho.

    Musk founded a company that merged with the company that invented PayPal.

    As Wikipedia lists him as a founder i think it’s ok for me to call him that as well. But of course, you can insist on the loooooong explanation that he founded a company that merged with another company and the merged one finally became Paypal.

        Aren't there alternatives to Paypal, like Wise and Revolut?

        Google Pay. Wise and Revolut are money wallet + transfer tools.

          I seriously question the mental stability of Tesla shareholders. Why on Earth does that man still have a job?

          I'm not even talking about this recent stuff, I'm talking about all the things he's been doing for the last few years. It would get any normal person fired.

            Do you need one?

            I recently deleted my PayPal account and use a virtual credit card instead.

            So far no issues with paying. In the rare case that credit card is not available you can always pay without account in PayPal via credit card.

            A virtual credit card? Is that something your bank offers, or how would one go about getting it?

            The reason I originally got PayPal is because many sites don’t accept debet cards so I often had no way to pay at all.

                In Europe, sepa transfers are free and instant transfers will be mandatory free from October.

                To pay in e-commerce, revolut has unlimited one-use cards, no need for PayPal.

                    It's a credit or debit card where you can change the number at any time. Prevents shady online shops from loosing your credit card details. Revolut and N26 offer it for example.

                    Of course, the shop still has to accept credit/debit cards or you have to go though PayPal as guest.

                      I don't think Elon gives a fuck. He's tricked everyone he needs to into giving him billions of dollars. He isn't going to give any of it back. He's laughed all the way to the bank.

                        Feel the same way. He basically has the US Treasury now, and can do whatever he wants with his DOGE, I doubt he cares about Tesla.

                          If you have the money to buy a Tesla I don't think you're someone who cares what people think one way or the other. You don't need to care about public opinion with that kind of income.

                            I wish people would also boycott Zuckerberg‘s products and Peter thiel‘s PayPal.

                            Is there a Canadian version of paypal that works the same way? I was searching but couldn't find one and ever since AI came around my business shrank to almost nothing. Also, other than having an old nearly defunct facebook account, what $ would I be unwittingly giving to Zuckerberg? Serious and naïve question.

                                What? A Model 3 starts at 42k (without the tax credit) or 299/mo for a lease. That’s below average for new cars in America, or significantly below average if you qualify for the tax credit. KBB says the average for a new car in December 2024 was nearly 50k.

                                And sure, not everyone can afford a new car, but very few Tesla buyers are “that kind of income” wealthy.

                                    So? You subsidised him since forever.
                                    Not a peep when he demanded to keep his factories open in full Covid times or plenty more scummy things.
                                    Only when he became a Trumper he was no longer great papa Elon for half of you.
