I've got a Confinity Paypal tshirt from a job fair I went to in 2000 or 2001 from back when they envisioned people using palm pilots to transfer money. I always think it's hilarious that people give Elon any credit for doing anything at the company.

The people who give him credit are the same people who sold PayPal for $1.5 billion in July 2002:

Peter Thiel, Max Levchin, Luke Nosek, Reid Hoffman, David Sacks, Ken Howery, Jeremy Stoppelman, Russel Simmons.

Elon was removed as CEO in 2000, but he remained the largest individual shareholder when PayPal went public.

I saw people using PalmPilots to transfer money on PayPal in 02001.
