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.
Anyone else think it’s odd that vehicles have tv services in them?
I just received a Tesla software update and Disney+ still works.
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
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.
