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.

    You can’t actually watch the videos while driving tho.

    I will admit I wish there were physical buttons for some things.

      It’s not about watching video, it’s about having to navigate a touchpad menu while driving. I was in a car share the other day that had a screen like that, and while driving on the highway, it changed itself from the navigation screen to tire pressure information, forcing the driver to exit that inane notification and navigate all the way back to the navigation screen, again, on the highway. It’s absolutely insane.
