Regarding the name, PayPal the product -- which included a web app and not just the Palm Pilot product -- launched before the merger. I remember evaluating both x.com and paypal when I was in high school selling computer parts on auction -- at Haggle.com.

No, actually an interview with Musk is a primary source, too. You realize "primary source" is an actual thing and not just something I made up? Are you trolling or just being argumentative for no reason?
