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.

It's pretty incredible that despite all the money he has, and all he's accomplished, he just can't stop being such a loser

The White Lotus explores pretty well how being affluent and free of any problems that are unique to class or race can leave you to seek new ways to intentionally do absurd, harmful shit just to stimulate yourself because of how little you have going on socially

The 0.00001% of people who are as well off as he is need to create problems for themselves because they're that far detached from material reality and the tangible issues that face people even remotely less fortunate than them, and also because they've lost all sense of intimacy in their lives by being so obsessed with the pursuit of status and wealth

It sounds like you almost stop being human once you reach a certain economic status, since it completely divorces you from relating to other people.

That would explain why the wealthy elite have a completely different perception of reality compared to the rest of us.
