PayPal has had a rough enough year without a leadership change, including an ugly battle with Carl Icahn, who wanted PayPal to be spun off from eBay. EBay won the fight, but not without bruises — including a prediction from PayPal co-founder Elon Musk that it will either be spun off or "wither." Just after patching things up with Icahn, PayPal's former head of global strategy, Rakesh Agrawal, left in a public spat with the company. Agrawal, who started his own mobile consulting firm, told The Post that Marcus faced tough challenges at PayPal, including "a lot of dead weight in the executive suites," and difficulties getting its payments product for merchants off the ground. "If you were to spin off PayPal, you would find out how naked the emperor is," Agrawal said.
