Elon Musk tweeted, “They saw it coming” replying to Stripe’s decision of unrestricting “psychic services”
Stripe, financial services and software as a service (SaaS) company found in 2011, has now updated their business policies and removed “psychic services” from their restricted business list. It will lead to opening doors to great opportunities for the so-called “high risk business” which were restricted till now. The CEO of US-based automaker Tesla, Elon Musk has tweeted in response to it.
The technology company, Stripe serves as the payment processing software and application programming interfaces for e-commerce websites such as Substack, Teachable, Ghost, Circle, Revue, Shopify, Clubhouse, Medium and Memberful. They are one of the most ubiquitous payment platforms on the internet operating on more than 3 million websites but they kept their doors shut for metaphysical businesses which are often considered to be ineligible and given the label “psychic services.”
Books, lectures, consultants, workshops, courses and other services are the main sources of income for many small businesses and freelancers, so them getting kicked out from this space affects their livelihood. Moreover, metaphysical services are primarily provided his women, queer people, people of color and marginalized identities, so it’s hard for them to support their livelihood.
But now, the company has now updated its terms and policies to allow the metaphysical services to operate on its platform. Meg Jones Wall, a queer tarot reader, writer, and photographer in the New York City has tweeted to confirm the news expressing her delight and how thrilled she is with the updation.
In response to this, the co-founder and CEO of Stripe, Patrick Collison tweeted, “We believe strongly in neutrality and broad permissiveness wherever feasible and lawful, so we dug in, analyzed the data, and found a solution. I’m very pleased that purveyors of psychic services are now supported on Stripe!”
He claimed that their firm supports neutrality and are now supporting the livelihoods of many by allowing psychic services to operate. The richest man of the World, Elon Musk has tweeted, “They saw it coming.”
Elon Musk is usually seen engaged with his followers and the famed individuals with his tweets. And now, replying to Patrick Collison he said that the firm Stripe was likely to do it since a long time and now the awaited required decision is been made.
