Tesla has removed Disney+ from some of its vehicles amid Elon Musk having an online fight with Disney CEO Bob Iger. The fight started when Disney halted its advertising on X after Musk agreed with and amplified antisemitic content, for which he eventually apologized.
Every week, there’s a new drama with Elon Musk on X, formerly known as Twitter. It sometimes indirectly affects Tesla, but this time, it affects it directly.
The current drama stems from Musk giving support to an antisemitic post on X, which he didn’t initially apologize for, though admitted that it was a mistake a week later. He further apologized but was already attacking Disney. In the meantime, the result was a massive backlash, where many companies stopped advertising on X, including Apple and Disney.
Musk took a particular issue with frequent right-wing target Disney – in the interview when he apologized for the tweet, he attacked advertisers for pulling out almost in the same breath.
Imagine buying an extremely expensive luxury vehicle, whose features are completely at the whim of some thin skinned billionaire.
Just remotely turning on and off different things in your car depending on who pissed him off, or pandered to him, that week.
LOL. Teslas cars are, for the most part, not “expensive luxury vehicles”. The brand as a whole is on par with Ford in terms of pricing. The air of luxury is yet another fallacy we cooked up in our heads with no evidence to support it; just like “Elon is a genius”.
Look, Elon single handedly builds rockets to Mars. He built your Tesla and it’s basically a spaceship with wheels. What could possibly be more luxurious?
Protip: Just don’t buy anything by Elon Musk
Exactly! I was looking into getting not only car, but rooftop solar with an expensive battery from Tesla, till that man lost his mind.
Anyone else think it’s odd that vehicles have tv services in them?
It’s probably intended for family road trips (or just kids in general).
You can’t watch it while driving. It’s for watching while charging or camping or whatever
You can use it when you turn on autopilot to distract yourself from pedestrians’ screams.
Hold the fuck up, they’ve got televisions in cars?
And we’re puzzled about why Tesla owners crash more than everyone else?
Mystery fucking solved, boys.
Autopilot + streaming services sure sounds like a good combo
Why did they have Disney+ to begin with lol
Why not?
Punishing your customers because Mickey Mouse made you cry. Just Elon Things!
This guys skin is so thin it’s translucent.
Right? I’ve never seen anyone so petty. And for some reason I can’t avoid him, he’s fucking everywhere. He’s this decade’s Paris Hilton.
I just received a Tesla software update and Disney+ still works.
I was thinking it was weird to watch Disney while driving, but I guess people who can afford an unused car can afford to have kids while keeping them both fed and entertained.
as long as Musk is hurting customers on purpose for his personal vedettas I will laugh at his claims of making the earth a better place.
the billionaire-mindset is toxicity
I’m sure the Tesla shareholders will be so pleased with this change. Rivian won’t even need to make a decent R2 to have customers move over, Elon continues to keep screwing things up. He needs to stop and take a back seat on everything, mans an idiot when it comes to most changes/ideas
Realistically Elon will be kicked off from the CEO position long before that.
Legit question. Are Tesla OS hackable yet? I would love to have full control over my car.

Seem shocking. So many people gut the motor and controllers but for some reason the cars are not hackable?

No one tell him about the myriad of other ways to watch streaming content while the car is actually in fucking motion.
Of course, the other advertisers are all going back to Twitter.
This is a soap opera for billionaire jock sniffers.
this is the problem with being a simple customer of one of this asshole’s businesses… you are now part of his smelly little ideological campaign, whether you like it or not…
Yeah! That’ll teach Disney! You show’em Elon!
Deny Disney of about 100 subscribers. Gosh.
Won’t deny anything. All streaming platforms are reachable via a browser and there are trivial ways to make it full screen.
