ChatGPT is providing the "answer" with the "strip" reference and being completely contradicted in the next answer by Greg Brockman, the former CTO of Stripe, who was, you know, actually there.
(Stripe in context evokes the magstripe of a payment card for me too.)
The AI generated answer in full (which the article apparently linked to when the first OP here responded):
Stripe, the company that provides a suite of payment APIs and tools, was founded in 2010 by brothers Patrick and John Collison. The company's name is said to have been inspired by the word "strip," a reference to the simplicity and elegance of the company's platform, which "strips away" the complexity of traditional payment systems. Additionally, the company's logo features a stylized blue and white stripe, which also contributes to the name.

which is clearly incorrect (2 is not a very big number), and yet gets its own nice answer highlight at the top of Google (where the AI generated nature of the answer is not noted at all).
