@elonmusk When?

Yes

@davidsenra Wow

This is the best founder you've never heard of. Adam Foroughi's company prints $5 billion in cash a year with just 400 people. When his stock price dropped by 92%, he borrowed money to buy back $6 billion in stock. That bet made the company more than $60 billion. The entire C-suite is just 4 people. To this day, Adam approves every hire. This episode has the highest insight-to-minute ratio of any conversation I've had so far.

@paulg @ElenaVerna so true, but I didn’t get a chance to meet in Stockholm. I had to fly threw the ocean to meet in SF

Thanks for such a great event

@patrickc Thanks for such a great event

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Stripe Sessions this year! More than 10,000 attendees for the first time. We had a ton of fun putting everything together and are very proud to support everything that you are building.

You realize what this means!? Stripe just gave you a new way to create generational wealth. They invented an entirely new marketplace. Agents will be spending millions, and eventually billions of dollars for individuals and corporations. The marketpalce is empty right now. IT IS YOURS FOR THE TAKING. Build a service as a software ( YES SAAS V2 ), make it so that agents can use and spend on your platform. WIN WIN WIN. WAAAAAAKE UPPPPP.

@elonmusk Ai bot? Blonde?

We're in Stockholm. You know how there are some places where you think "Nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there"? Stockholm is the kind of place that makes you want to live there.

@paulg Absolutely

Sam Altman's early investment in Stripe has grown into a stake worth approximately $130 million as of early 2026, stemming from an initial investment of just $15,000 made in 2009 The rest is history

Hire founders, they make clarity out of chaos Elena Verna @ElenaVerna
