> PayPal spearheaded and won the race for payment processing. It wasn't perfect, but it was in no small part due to Musk why the company succeeded and earned its eBay buyout.

Musk was removed as CEO within four months of his company merging with Confinity, who had already developed and written an MVP for PayPal.

This is a bit of a stretch. After that point, Musk's "contribution" to PayPal appears to largely have been cashing dividend checks.
