That’s Peter Thiel, the gay billionaire who wants to turn America into a network of technofeudalist monarchies each lead by a CEO-king.
He’s single-handedly responsible for J.D. Vance’s political rise, and is Trump’s largest donor.
Hard to believe that PayPal would end up creating the men who would end up actually having a real chance at destroying America.
Also, very funny to me that Musk has been trying to force x-dot-com to happen for so long. He bought that expensive domain in the 90’s and so far the only times it’s ever been used was first as the original PayPal domain, which despite being very simple has considered terrible branding for a financial company and the other founders forced a domain change. The second time was Musk buying Twitter and ruining it.
Between those two uses, Musk has been spending millions a year in registration fees for that cursed domain, and running his mouth non-stop about an “everything app” with no other description than that it would have features similar to PayPal (Musk only understands money and nothing else), and it would be hosted on the X domain.
When Musk bought Twitter, he promised that it would transform into this fabled “everything app”, but so far the only thing he added to the platform is Nazis.
Ah, some years ago I’ve read an article about him and his plan, but didn’t remember his face. The picture therein was something in the fashion of a mafia familiy photo.
I searched for “paypal elon” and found other angles
Assuming Elon is the guy on the right, I don’t see obvious differences to the left picture (except of course his hairline).

Aside from the initial purchase of the domain, wouldn’t the yearly registration be the standard registration renewal price?
Not for 1-3 letter domains, especially .com domains. Those basically fund ICANN.
Apparently x dot com stayed with PayPal until 2017 when Musk bought it back. While we don’t know the price, it’s probably been in the millions
