All his fanboys should be absolutely shitting bricks about this since Elon has been out there for years saying that people who purchase Tesla vehicles absolutely own them. He's been spouting this bullshit since they got caught remotely crippling software features YEARS ago, but this is further proof Tesla owners are completely at the whim of a tyrannical douchebag who decides if you get the privilege of using something you paid for the way you want.

    His fanboys are mostly reich-wingers nowadays, and they're completely impervious to reality-based arguments

    Imagine buying a $50k car and they take away features because the CEO is having a temper tantrum and wants everyone else to suffer.

    You’d have to be a fool to give this guy your money.

    10 years ago if someone had told me that in the future the tantrums of a billionaire petulant manchild would decide what features are available in your already paid for car I wouldn't have believed them.

    On the other hand, 10 years ago there's almost no chance you would think that the Disnet Chanel would be a feature in an automobile.

    Can you imagine spending all that money on a car and expecting certain features, only for them to change based on the whims of a manchild who gets his feelings hurt?

    "Citing fire hazard, Disney bans Tesla vehicles from their properties, worldwide." would be a hilarious headline.

    CEO of public company actively makes product worse because of business dealings at a seperate private company owned by said CEO. Not that Tesla shareholders don't already have enough reason to be pissed, but good lord.

    And it's not a "feud" that would imply Disney is being petty instead of making the fucking obvious business decision to pull advertising spend from the dumpster fire of racism and controversy that is Twitter.

    What a pathetic gesture. I'll show them, I'll take away features from my cars! No one subs to Disney+ just because they can watch it in their car. All you're doing is pissing off tesla owners and scaring away potential owners with your little bitch fit. Pathetic.

    Bob, you know what you have to do. Remove him from Iron Man, that's petty, useless and perfect.

    Holy shit. Who wants products with this much control given to someone else?

    I seriously have no respect for anyone who buys apple or teslas.

    As another once said, “Elon Musk is a stupid man’s genius,” and after all of his tantrums, I see it as true.

    As someone who uses it a lot: you don’t need it. But it is nice when you’re waiting for someone, which I do a lot of because sigh I’m basically a soccer mom now. (Kids don’t play soccer and I don’t drive a minivan but…yeah, the comparison is sadly apt.) These days, my kids use it more than I do, since a few times a week they are stuck with me waiting for the other sibling to get out of their activity. Can all this be solved by just handing them my phone instead? Sure.

    As of yesterday, pretty sure my Disney+ app was still there, maybe because we’ve used it before, per the article. My daughter would be upset if it disappeared, but if it does I’ll just bring a iPad and hotspot it. Whatever. Maybe I should be more upset about this but I’m kind of resigned to Musk being an asshole man-child and honestly kind of depressed about being linked to him even if I’ve had the car for years and generally love it.

    Sounds to me like Elon is trying to blackmail Iger.
