What its pages say

Quoted word for word from gizmodo.com.

In their own words
“The popular franchise finds itself in the middle of some misguided, meme-culture political conversation. We’re all pretty aware the world’s richest man is not the world’s smartest man , but this one might take the cake. On Sunday, Elon Musk took to his personal playground, X, to post an image of the Skywalker family from Star Wars .” About page
Delivery cost
“In addition to paying the cost of food and delivery fees, it turns out there’s another payment you might be making when you place an order that is brought to you by a delivery robot: your biometric data.” Delivery page
