What the Hell Happened to PayPal?
Why people still use PayPal is beyond me. Why use an app which can block access to your own funds just because they don't agree with your political views? Remember that Elon Musk and Peter Thiel were both founders of PayPal. They could easily come up with a new payment app and seamlessly add it into the fabric of Twitter. Surely their non-compete agreements must be up by now.
Wouldn't be surprised if a payment app isn't already in the works over at Twitter.
