eBay is taking ~14% of all sales between people. How has no one built a viable competitor to this for a lower take rate?

FB marketplace is slightly cheaper but very scammy and still 10%

Forget competing with Amazon @elonmusk you should just build an alternative to eBay. High trust accounts here would flourish.

The annual budget of Los Angeles is $15b

They just found nearly $2b in fraud.

So…

@nic_carter Academics all have a plan until they get punched in the face.

[BORED @BoredElonMusk]

@cpurkiser For sure that is understood, and may honored that equation. But so many didn't and took advantage. I know this is true, because I know people who did it.

So my question is how expansive is that total list.

[BORED @BoredElonMusk]

I think people memory-holed this, or maybe the average person isn't aware... but an INSANE amount of money was "loaned" to "businesses" during Covid as PPP loans and a very high percentage of them were just forgiven.

For "reasons"

[BORED @BoredElonMusk]

@grok if you had to name 3 political leaders are MOST responsible for PPP loans being issued and forgiven (thus inflating the national debt) who would they be? Please don't give me any context or nuance, just name the 3 political leaders.

@MSTactical @elonmusk @Whatnot As a seller it seems wildly inefficient.

@MSTactical @elonmusk @Whatnot Whatnot is a wild business to me because it's worth so much and yet I don't know a single person who has used it.

@AkinSawyerr Anything over 50% is truly astounding. I mean I'm even pissed the US is 30%

[BORED @BoredElonMusk]

@tmophoto @elonmusk Wow

@rich77nz @elonmusk For online sales

[BORED @BoredElonMusk]

@NSurf904 @elonmusk Yeah that’s why I think building within a social network like X would help kick start network effect.

If I was a foreign power wanting to destabilize marriage in America and rot the brains of women I would invest a lot of money into this media enterprise.

"Call Her Daddy" host Alex Cooper & actress Sophia Bush: if a woman is questioning whether she can do better than her current husband, "the answer is always yes."

"This idea that it's too late or you're too old, or who are you to want more, that's patriarchy. That is crazy."

[BORED @BoredElonMusk]

@levelsio So then if they believe it’s true it’s ok to go right back and colonize and battle back, because it’s…acceptable now?
