Have you ever heard of the PayPal Mafia?

It’s not a criminal gang, but the nickname given to a group of former PayPal employees who went on to become some of the most powerful and influential people in the tech industry. These are the people behind companies like Tesla, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Palantir.

In today’s episode of Thinking in English, I’m going to explore what the PayPal Mafia is, how it formed, who the key members are, and why they’ve had such a massive impact on the modern world.

We’ll also look at some useful vocabulary to help you talk about business, technology, and entrepreneurship in English.
