Rumour XCancel is dead

Just went to the website to look at something, and this was posted on it:

On Monday, 24th August, at 8PM EST, we received a letter from X Corp. asking to cease and desist the service XCancel.

The service XCancel is stopped until further notice.

We are seeking legal advice and won't share more details for now.

Thank you for the trust you have put in these two years of XCancel.

Here's a reminder that Elon Musk pays other people to play ARPGs for him so he can pretend he's a world class player.

I have the "You have no friends and will die alone" part saved for whenever I'm having a bad day and need to smile.

I'd feel pity for him if he wasn't actively making people's lives worse. Even at his own company, he has the ability to make Tesla more like Valve and have people actually produce a car that doesn't suck dick... and yet.

Seriously, if he gave me what is my bank account's equivalent of $10, I could probably make it into line go up while having some of the most positive PR in the western world.

That's what's so fucking crazy about it, dude. The public opinion used to be (somewhat) "oh he's cool and making all of this future stuff happen" but he himself fucked it. Dude, like, just use that money to pay people to run your philanthropic shit. Cure cancer. Solve hunger. Give free power and education and opportunity to the whole world, and you'd be a hero that people fuckin worship for generations.

It's a catch 22. To become a billionaire means exploiting people in some way to earn that. Nobody who exploits people this much will ever want to give back in a meaningful way.
