He isn’t responsible for PayPal. His company, X.com, merged with PayPal and he was ousted after a short period of time. PayPal already existed before he was involved.

This is also Apple’s goal, strange they didn’t pass the cap yet. Paypal was the first “digital” bank, we owe him that but to be honest, i won’t put my money in a US entity. It is already difficult with most of the digital only EU banks.

Don’t give him too much credit for PayPal. Yes, he was involved in one of the companies that ended up in Paypal and was fired from it. Back then he was already pushing his “X app”.

thanks for the clarification, I didn’t dig further into it.

No worries, Elon fought hard to create the illusion that he “founded” PayPal and Tesla and that he’s such a genius and now he’s doing his best to demolish that image with Twitter.
