Ironically this had an issue because of GitHub downtime?

Perhaps has to do with the Github sync feature, https://cursor.com/docs/origin/mirror-github

doesn't matter, it's DOA anyway, Elon is bad for your brand, hosting your project with Elon is a sure way to have people pass on it, and possibly a way your private repos end up in an Ai training set. These people cannot be trusted

As opposed to Micro$oft, which everyone loves and trusts?

Fwiw, Microsoft has not been as destructive to GitHub as people predicted. The complaint these days is around uptime, which is understood to be an effort to migrate to Azure.

It's one thing to have low quality products, it's another to have a low ethics leader. They can both be hated, but it is different.

GitHub downtime is a matter which can be resolved, not so sure about Elon's antics. But this is all besides the actual reasons GitHub has staying power. (network, actions, migrating git hosts is a significant endeavor that doesn't add value to your users)
