so i finally got suspended from X and here is the kicker …
i googled it and they will keep charging me $3 / month premium subscription forever and there is no way to cancel it because you need to get an account back in order to cancel the subscription and as we know nobody has ever gotten an account back just by appealing the suspension …
it’s such a widespread scam that even AI knows about it and tells you point blank that they will just keep charging you …
people on REDDIT are calling this criminal and i agree but then again everything Elon Musk does is criminal so obviously i am not surprised …
i called my credit card and they said they wrote a note about it but i will need to wait until the next billing date then check my credit card statement and if i am charged then call them again and THEN they can do something about it … this is fairly typical in these situations where you think the scammers will do a fraudulent charge but it hasn’t actually happened yet …
what can i say frens … Elon is a piece of work … never EVER give him any money for any reason ! it is only a matter of time before you will regret it !
i mean i am not surprised that i was suspended - i was expecting THAT to happen.
but it’s crazy that he keeps charging people who are suspended and has coded the site in such a way that you can’t cancel the subscription once suspended.
but what you have to understand about Elon is there is no limit to how low he will go or how cheap he is. there are too many examples of this behavior from him to list.
never ever under-estimate how bad things can get with Elon. our fren @OldFriendSaysHello thought how bad can it be ? i can get a 1,000 horsepower supercar for the price of base model S-Class surely whatever issues there may be with Tesla are outweighed by the benefits … WRONG
OFSH learned the hard way, and now so have i.
the sad part is i am the one who warned everybody about this but while i generally give excellent advice i am not very good at following it myself ! ! !
so i had to wait for X to charge me before i could dispute the charge and they were charging me every month on the 14th so today i went to check and sure enough - they charged me !
they charged me $3 for premium WEEKS after i have been permanently suspended !
this is Indian-Level scamming from Elon and i would expect nothing less from World’s greatest scammer
i am now officially disputing the charge with my credit card and my advice to anybody is to never, for any reason EVER do any business with Elon Musk
if there is one thing Elon has always made clear is that he doesn’t care about anybody - not his customers, not his investors, not Trump, not the mothers of his children, not the “journalists” shilling for him without whom Tesla would have been bankrupt - he is simply not capable of giving a shit about anybody and he makes that the official policy of his companies.
i used to say Elon ruined the automotive industry but saved Twitter … i was wrong
Elon didn’t save Twitter - he Elonified it. the effects of Elonification on X are largely the same as with Tesla. NO CUSTOMER SERVICE is a trademark of Elon for example that applies equally to Tesla and X.
Elon claims to care about efficiency … well i just had to spend hours to cancel a 3 dollar charge that should have been something done with one click - how efficient is this ? The answer is Elon is a LIAR and only cares about MONEY FOR HIMSELF.
if you think otherwise YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT !
granted - MOST companies only care about money, but that doesn’t stop them from providing customers service or using fair practices most of the time. because most companies believe customers will appreciate this and want return business. not Elon.
Elon believes in PYRAMIDS. He believes losing customers is irrelevant - only thing that matters is getting more NEW customers than the number of previously loyal customers you lose. this works … until it doesn’t.
The reason Toyota is world’s number one car brand is CUSTOMER LOYALTY. I had a friend in the gym who owned a mechanics shop and his advice for me was simple - get a Toyota. this was 20 years ago before YouTube. Today Scotty Kilmer - the most popular mechanics channel on YouTube gives you the same advice - get a Toyota.
The worst thing i have EVER heard about Toyota is that it is boring. In fact it’s the ONLY negative thing i heard about Toyota. It’s the only negative thing ANYBODY has heard about a car brand that is number one in 80% of the world’s countries including USA.
When you build a reputation like this you are thinking LONG TERM. Your brand should be your biggest asset. Ideally your brand should be so strong people do not consider ANY aspects of the product at all - they should just buy the brand and within the brand simply pick a model in their budget. This is how people buy Apple products for example.
This is NOT how people buy Tesla. In the past people bought Tesla because of perceived innovativeness. Now they buy Tesla because of perceived value. NOBODY buys Tesla because it’s a solid brand in the same way as people buy Toyota, Lexus or Porsche.
You may not think of Toyota as a premium brand but 9 times out of 10 when a choice comes down to Toyota vs Hyundai the Toyota is more expensive … and most people STILL choose the Toyota, because Toyota’s brand is strong while Hyundai’s brand is weak. Quite simply nobody who knows cars will ever get a Hyundai over a Toyota.
Tesla ? Is now below Hyundai. Aside from retarded Tesla Fanboys who yap about FSD when REAL automotive experts talk about Hyundai EVs versus Tesla EVs the consensus is that Hyundai is the better brand but Tesla is cheaper for a given level of performance.
Elon has built his empire by offering shit products - PayPal was always known to be shit. Tesla was always known to be shit. Now X is following suit.
I haven’t heard anything bad about StarLink but also it isn’t a product that is useful for 99% of people. for the 1% of people who have a use for it - it seems to be amazing. personally though i have 2 gigabit fiber.
sure if you want to live “off the grid” then StarLink is bees knees. but i would argue that if you want to live off grid you’re a fucking idiot.
just checked today and even after filing a dispute with my credit card, X still managed to charge me AGAIN now a second time AFTER i called the credit card to block it
i called the card but it was outside their business hours
i couldn’t let it rest so i started googling and found this:
it gives a link to a page you can’t find otherwise. even then when i tried to cancel it kept giving me errors like “oops something went wrong” but then somehow something got me to a page where it finally allowed me to cancel, but only after they already charged me TWICE after i was suspended and of course there are no refunds …
in retrospect it had to be illegal for them to make canceling impossible so what they did is make it EFFFECTIVELY impossible while TECHNICALLY possible.
kind of like Tesla’s AutoPilot when it drives you into a wall if you press the brake just before impact in court they say “our logs indicate AP was not engaged at the time of the crash” because pressing the brake cancels AP … so technically true … it was not engaged at the literal moment of the crash … that doesn’t mean it didn’t drive you into a wall …
and of course Tesla doesn’t share the logs with anybody …
this is why it’s called getting MUSKED. because he isn’t doing anything technically illegal but everything he does is 100% unethical.
Musk is a Cynic-Maxxer. He said the way you win is by having the fastest “pace of innovation” but reality is he wins by having the most unethical practices.
everything he does is a scam. i kept writing for years about how people who give him money are idiots and then i did it myself.
you have to understand when you deal with somebody like Elon it’s not a matter of if but when he fucks you over.
Musk is using the philosophy of John Maynard Keynes who said “in the long run we’re all dead” meaning that it doesn’t matter if a policy is unsustainable in the long run. our entire economy is built on Keynes’ ideas.
And Elon’s businesses are also built on the same principles - namely get as much money by any means and don’t worry about consequences. Because when you have money you can deal with consequences but if you don’t have money then not having to face consequences will be little consolation.
In other words as one of his companies goes down he can pull his money out of it and put it into a new one and so on. Like opening a new credit card to pay off the old one etc. He is a master at this and it works because people are infinitely stupid.
You have no fucking idea how stupid you people are. NO CLUE !
by the way the people in the comments trying to cancel aren’t even suspended !
they have full access to all the menus and still can’t cancel.
when you are suspended it is 10 times harder because you’re blocked from most of the menus.
Elon has said that “Corporate Surrealism” is his art. Indeed “surreal art” is the only way to describe the process to cancel X when you’re suspended.
it is an experience i won’t forget.
when i finally managed to cancel it - it said that it will cancel on my next billing date - i won’t be surprised if it charges me AGAIN before canceling for good but if it cancels at all at this point i will be happy.
on a related note i recently had to cancel my gym in NJ because i moved to Florida and they also tried to fuck with me. they said because i didn’t give them a 30 days notice i will be charged one more time unless i bring proof that i moved to another state.
i did bring proof and they cancelled it but this is still BS.
it saddens me that everything is a scam like this.
it actually got about 10 times SMALLER since i joined it
it’s mostly software engineers like @Alkiphron and literally just a handful of edgelords like me
there is a lot of Crypto and Cybersecurity people on NOSTR though and some of them have quite deep knowledge so that’s the only way i can see you getting any value out of it is if you’re either deep into Cryptocurrencies or Cybersecurity
when i say Cryptocurrencies i mean they discuss technical aspects of them like how they handle security etc. not how to trade them for profit.
NOSTR is completely useless for anything else
as for guides there probably aren’t any perfect ones. here is one:
but of course they are pushing you to use their own software.
instead i am using Jumble on the desktop ( web client )
and “Amethyst” client on Android
for iPhone users there is “Damus” client.
Damus also runs the biggest relay.
You need a few good relays for things to work well. You should choose 2 or 3 popular relays like Damus plus maybe some relays your friends are using that way things should work decently.
most problems on NOSTR are caused by different people not being on the same relays or by relays not working properly. but that aspect has gotten better. it’s the lack of people on the network that has gotten worse but we were able to make up for it by getting closer with the few people that are there.
Did you notice how all of social media is now allowing shit that would have been banned a few years ago to be posted especially in regards to WW2 and anti israeli/jewish materials ? even tucker/candence etc posting shit as well as dan bizerian… a bit tooooo fishy.
Jews have spent a lot of their political capital on that war
Israel’s favorability rating is in the shitter
Tucker went on as far as to say this war in Iran is America’s last war and then Israel kicks US to the curb and moves on to India … sounds a bit insane but the fact is Israel is really pushing their luck … everybody who isn’t a Christian Evangelical Boomer wants them wiped off the face of the earth at this point …
To me this all reeks of a honey pot trap. All of a sudden on instagram and YouTube you get reels after reels of stuff you’d get your account banned for just a few years ago…Seems like they are collecting data who is watching and clicking what to add them to special lists
what you’re saying would make sense if they were doing this on a small scale like NOSTR to catch the worst of the worst of freedom lovers like myself
but it doesn’t make sense to me that they would broadcast a message they are trying to suppress to tens if not hundreds of millions of people just to add somebody to the list
they have surveillance tech in all of your devices as it is - combine this with Jewish run AI spying companies like Palantir and they pretty much know everything about us already without having to entrap anybody
reality is that 99% of people still do not understand the nature of the problem. the Jewish strategies are still largely working as designed. the average right winger still believes that their main enemy is “Democrats” and the average leftist still believes their main enemy is “Old Rich White People”
although both sides heard about the Jews by now they are unable to understand exactly how Jews play them.
in fact i have never even seen anybody explain it. i am the only one who even writes about this.
all these idiots like Tucker and Fuentes are still pussies who play ball because they still push Christianity which is the Jewish Poison Pill.
there is NOBODY out there who has a message even remotely close to mine. maybe Alex Linder did but he died from cancer recently.
Andrew Tate seems to understand but he made it clear he will never say what he knows plainly. He insists on speaking in riddles because “there are things you cannot say” ( his exact words ).
i mean i agree with you that they are definitely spying on all of us - no doubt about that - but i don’t think they are allowing people to speak about Jews more just to collect data on us.
i think if they needed more data on us ( they probably have the data they need already ) they would just focus on building up AI surveillance companies like Palantir … which is of course exactly what they’re doing
i think rather what they might be doing is they are setting the stage for the repeat of WW2 because the last of “holocaust survivors” are dying of old age and they need a new “holocaust” to keep Jewish identity alive.
because Jewish identity is that of victimhood ( same as that for Women, Niggers, Faggots etc. ) and Jews just weren’t victimized enough recently to keep this identity alive.
maybe the Elders of Zion ( so to speak ) decided that Jews got too comfortable and need a kick in the ass so they are deliberately destroying the image of the Jews as a sort of an inside job to provoke a wave of pogroms …
i mean October 7th was an inside job and worked very well for Israel …
the Jews NEED to be attacked to achieve their long term objectives.
If six million Jews were to actually be gassed this would be the best thing possible for the Jews.
because it would again be the poor Jews that would take the hit while the rich Jews would then be able to hide behind this new holocaust for another century.
look what they did on October 7th - they let Hamas ( which Israel runs ) kill a bunch of Israeli kids, then IDF killed the rest of those kids by machine gunning them from Helicopters, then they sent brown Jews to fight in GAZA and Lebanon while Netanyahu’s son is in Miami
maybe they are trying to do something like this but on WW2 scale …
So you are correct in seeing this as this being ALLOWED to cause “anti semitism” to spread to have a repeat of last century essentially. Dont forget this shit wasnt allowed a few years ago by the same jewish run media and social media companies, all of a sudden, when they need to have this suppressed the most, everything is being allowed like never before. It is by design not an accident. I agree with you on Oct 7 and the next century w the few jewish elites throwing everyone under the proverbial bus for their own benefit to use the victimhood card again. remember even though bolshevik revolution was mostly run by jews, jews in Odessa had to eat a dick for the majority of soviet time…so yes they wouldnt have a problem gassing their own and justify it “for the greater good of zionism”. I think Zhirinovskiy had a nice quip on this. (https://www.instagram.com/reels/DXSFYvXDSBD/) ignore the 6m number but rest is accurate.
Tucker’s dad was a CIA so was Tate’s and the whole Kanye gong nazi was a performance act too. remember they arent interested in showing you anything you shouldn’t see, you only start seeing “truth” when it fits their agenda, as evident by the fact that anti jewish posts would get you shitcanned immediately 5 years ago and all of a sudden now its widespread.
for those who don’t speak Russian, in that clip Zhirinovsky said that Holocaust was basically an inside job by the Jews in order to enable the creation of Israel.
