This says nothing about Elon Musk cancelling Disney — officially or otherwise.
He said, at a speaking engagement, “Go F#@k Yourself!” about firms that were trying to coerce him/X (by threatening boycotts in advertising on the X platform if he didn’t acquiesce to their BS) and he called out “Bob” (Iger) specifically.
Then thousands of users cancelled their Disney-Plus accounts, about 80% of them citing the Musk incident.
Musk did not “cancel” Disney. X users cancelled their Disney-Plus accounts and many posted screenshots on X.
I think the "#cancelled" hashtag trend was probably influenced by Musk's words.
#cancelled vs cancelled
Is there a difference? Probably not, but maybe so, too, in a kinda, sorta type of way.
Just looked up the cancelled vs canceled and either one is valid. English use two ls more commonly and Americans use one l more commonly. I’m American, but used the two l spelling. (Edit: sorry, you were asking about hashtag vs non-hashtag).
As far as the post title, Musk didn’t cancel anyone officially or otherwise. Saying so implies he kicked them off as a valid advertiser from his platform. He did not. (Edit: maybe he canceled his own subscription for his little kids? I didn’t catch that in the video, just thousands of X users having done so).
My interpretation was that he started a hashtag trend and it wasn't meant as a literal use of the word.
I am wrong so often that I bet you are right.
Maybe the OP will chime in and explain what was meant.
