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.

    Some of them have. My neighbor not only bought one but also painted his garage red with Tesla logos all over it

        His Tesla is actually his least annoying vehicle. He also has a motorcycle and large truck, both of which have been modified to make more noise, and he likes to rev them up at all hours of the day and night. He doesn’t take them anywhere, just goes out, makes noise, goes back inside. It’s very pathetic.
