Tesla removes Disney+ from vehicles amid Elon Musk's Twitter beef with Bob Iger [View all]

Rich person with the emotional intelligence of a child spites Disney. Removes Disney+ app from Tesla Theatre for Tesla owners who never used the app before. No reason was given.

So Tesla gets revenge on an "enemy" of Twitter?

I have to ask: Should Bob Iger get a little payback in the parking lots?, or just wait for Musk to destroy yet another of his companies?

Electrek says:

If that’s really the case, and Elon told Tesla to remove Disney+ from its cars because he thinks it is too woke, and he is mad that it pulled their advertising from X, then that’s some childish temper tantrum nonsense.

Personally, I believe it because of the chronology of the situation. It seemed rushed, with Tesla first saying they would pull the app and then changing it to only removing it from cars of owners who had never used it before, probably realizing that it would negatively affect their owners.

But even then, what if some Tesla owners never used it but planned to eventually? And why is a public company with lots of stakeholders performing revenge on private company Twitter/X’s perceived “enemies”?

This is so dumb. Not your best moment, Elon.
