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.
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?
