Uhlig as a recent example, Rowling which is raised in the article. This is trivial to name more examples.

Sure you can. Cancelation has nothing to do with the amount of money you own, nor the color of your skin, your religious beliefs, nationality, gender identity, preferred pronouns, political lean or ice cream preferences.

How does Rowling get cancelled? How does she get deprived of her income? Deprived of a platform?

Even if she is never allowed to write a book again, never invited on Oprah again, she has $1B dollars, which is more than any of us will ever see.
