Tesla removes Disney+ from vehicles amid Elon Musk’s Twitter beef with Bob Iger

electrek.co Tesla removes Disney+ from vehicles amid Elon Musk's Twitter beef with Bob Iger

Tesla has removed Disney+ from some of its vehicles amid Elon Musk having an online fight with Disney CEO Bob...

Electrek heard from a source that Tesla informed Disney+ last week that it would remove its native app from the Tesla Theatre in its vehicles without giving a reason as to why.

A few days later, Tesla told Disney that it would only remove the app for Tesla owners who never used the app before.

The automaker now appears to have acted on the threat, as many Tesla owners are reporting not seeing the Disney+ app in Tesla Theatre anymore. Others, presumably those who have used the app before, are still seeing the app available in their cars.

We were told that Tesla didn’t officially give a reason to Disney, but the message was sort of “read between the lines.”

Do tesla shareholders not care that the ceo is fucking with their customers because a company stopped advertising with his other company?

Ostensibly, tesla has nothing to do with xitter. How is this acceptable to anyone?

- I'm not a TSLA shareholder, but I do have a model 3, and my Disney+ app was removed.
  
  I don't really care because I don't have kids, and between Disney and Musk, I'll take Musk any day. This isn't a good vs evil battle, it's evil vs evil, where one side isn't completely malevolent.

  Yes it is. Look at Xitter and say Bob’s wrong. And if you can’t see it, you should at least understand which side you’re on.

  Its weird that you know one side is completely malevolent, and then proudly chose that side.
  
  "I know one of these parties has some redeming qualities, and it makes me sick!"

  ...where one side isn’t completely malevolent...
  
  ...and the other side is Tesla, owned by Apartheid Edgelord.

The enshitification of a car some dipshit paid for.

People will hear about this every time they talk about buying a Tesla from now until forever.

- Just wait until Apple and Google remove twitter from their stores.
  
  Banned!

  He’ll just start his own phone company. *neural link brain chip required *Starlink required at $11,000/month. *Oh, and it only accesses Xitter. *you can unlock your car too I guess **unlock feature requires you to get pregnant with another one of Musk’s kids.

Oh no, Telsa drivers may have to look at the pedestrians they run over instead of watching Mickey and Goofy? Awwwww.

- I assume its made for the passengers

  It's mostly for time spent charging your car, same with all the games

  On autopilot everyone in the car is a passenger. Outside of the car they might as well be dead?

Sounds like Musk is trying to blackmail. Iger should get on a stage and say "anyone that tries to blackmail me, go fuck yourself."

31
- Disney should threaten to sue Tesla for freely choosing to remove the Disney app

- Iger has no need to do that. All he has to do is release the lawyers. Having said that Disney will do nothing. It has zero effect on their bottom line.

- I wish he could see the irony, but the guy has a negative amount of self-reflection.

Aww widdle Musky needs his dipey wipey changed?

Me: "Elon can't make Tesla's any shittier than they already are."

Muskrat: "Hold my beer."

People watch shows while driving?!

- Electric cars need time to charge, so you can watch stuff while waiting for the batteries to charge.

  Doesnt most charging take place at home?

- This is a weird ass trend i started to see. People use their phone for navigation and their car display to watch tv while driving. I've seen it the first time like 3month ago, but since then ever so often.

- People text while driving. Is that really so surprising?

I mean, it's his right. Just as it's Disney's right to not advertise on Nazis R Us.

- Kind of messed up Tesla takes action because of a spat on Twitter though.

  The Board should have oversight on this, but then there are family members and sycophants on the board, so…

Ah, yes. Capitalism at its finest. Two dick-waving walking egos have a tussle and everybody else pays the price.

At least here it's something that doesn't matter.

I didn't even know I had D+ in my car and I am a subscriber. Nonetheless, thanks for making my car worse, Elon!

- Hey now, don’t talk shit on Phony Stark, he may ban you from using your car.

What happened to that freedom of speech thing? Oh right, I forgot Musk is a lying piece of shit.
