Tesla removes Disney+ app amid Elon Musk's feud with Disney CEO Bob Iger

All his fanboys should be absolutely shitting bricks about this since Elon has been out there for years saying that people who purchase Tesla vehicles absolutely own them. He's been spouting this bullshit since they got caught remotely crippling software features YEARS ago, but this is further proof Tesla owners are completely at the whim of a tyrannical douchebag who decides if you get the privilege of using something you paid for the way you want.

Imagine buying a $50k car and they take away features because the CEO is having a temper tantrum and wants everyone else to suffer.

You’d have to be a fool to give this guy your money.

Since Twitter has nothing to do with Tesla (beyond the emotionally stunted owner) this is serious line being crossed. I mean - I don't care about Tesla. But I do care about SpaceX and Starlink as they have serious geopolitical implications.

Some country's leader disses Twitter and they don't get to launch satellites. Or their people don't get satellite internet.

This amount of power should not be in the hands of one rich guy with an inferiority complex.

10 years ago if someone had told me that in the future the tantrums of a billionaire petulant manchild would decide what features are available in your already paid for car I wouldn't have believed them.

Can you imagine spending all that money on a car and expecting certain features, only for them to change based on the whims of a manchild who gets his feelings hurt?

Cancel culture.

"Citing fire hazard, Disney bans Tesla vehicles from their properties, worldwide." would be a hilarious headline.

Oh, Musk. You really wanna join the ranks with DeSantis?

You can not out lawyer the mouse.

CEO of public company actively makes product worse because of business dealings at a seperate private company owned by said CEO. Not that Tesla shareholders don't already have enough reason to be pissed, but good lord.

And it's not a "feud" that would imply Disney is being petty instead of making the fucking obvious business decision to pull advertising spend from the dumpster fire of racism and controversy that is Twitter.

What a pathetic gesture. I'll show them, I'll take away features from my cars! No one subs to Disney+ just because they can watch it in their car. All you're doing is pissing off tesla owners and scaring away potential owners with your little bitch fit. Pathetic.

Bob, you know what you have to do. Remove him from Iron Man, that's petty, useless and perfect.

What a tantrum-throwing manchild.

Why are there streaming apps in cars?

Petty-ass move.

As another once said, “Elon Musk is a stupid man’s genius,” and after all of his tantrums, I see it as true.

"free speech absolutist" lol

And here I am just now learning that cars have streaming media apps? That seems insane to me in the first place...

Kind of wild how this guy feels entitled to have people pay him

Don't know why the hell you'd need a streaming service in your car anyways

Manchild.

Sounds to me like Elon is trying to blackmail Iger.

Eh, Tesla plays this game too?

Any of my knowledge of this is based on the show Succession, so I probably have no idea what I'm talking about, but couldn't Tesla's board remove Elon as CEO for making terrible decisions that negatively affect shareholders?

Lmao Elon boutta find out that you do not fuck with the big D.

Proof that you can't buy maturity.

I think I will put in a support ticket about it just for the hell of it. They have time for petty shit like this but still haven't fixed the automatic wipers that have been broken since August. Automatic wipers are actually a necessity in this car because the only way to operate them manually is with a few clicks on the touchscreen. It's dangerous. They kept closing my support requests for it until I gave them the number for the NHTSA complaint I filed. I'm so sick of this turd and his shitty companies.

Hi Elon fans

Why would you have a streaming service playing on a screen very visible to the driver?!?! No wonder Tesla has such a high accident rate.
