PayPal is one of the world’s largest online payment companies - valued at over $300 billion.
Its service is available in more than 200 countries and has over 400 million consumer and merchant accounts.
And it all started with a struggling student who was ditched by his girlfriend and thrown out of his own place before meeting two strangers who would turn his life around.

There's several variables involved with this first if Elon were to take the challenge second the location of which he's supposed to spend his time being homeless. . third how much time is the challenge? Now if you say for a day then he'll survive that if you tell him to survive a week like that he might not even make it alive depending on the location y'all put them in.
