This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Since Twitter has nothing to do with Tesla (beyond the emotionally stunted owner) this is serious line being crossed. I mean - I don't care about Tesla. But I do care about SpaceX and Starlink as they have serious geopolitical implications.
Some country's leader disses Twitter and they don't get to launch satellites. Or their people don't get satellite internet.
This amount of power should not be in the hands of one rich guy with an inferiority complex.
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.
I wouldn't have not believed it, but I would be bummed to learn that we still haven't made contact with three-tiddied aliens.
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.

A fool and his money are easily parted.
If only it was just money.
There are people joining waiting lists to let Musk put microchips in their brains.
Cancel culture.
"Citing fire hazard, Disney bans Tesla vehicles from their properties, worldwide." would be a hilarious headline.
That would at least have some data to back it up. This is just a man-child throwing a hissy fit because the free market decided it didn't want to do business with Twitter.
What a tantrum-throwing manchild.
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.
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.
Gotta love having a subscription for your car to give you a worse service than before because a man child bought a social media site.
Bob, you know what you have to do. Remove him from Iron Man, that's petty, useless and perfect.
OMG that'd be hilarious. Also don't even say a word to anyone, just have an editor trim that 3 second scene from IM2 and replace it on the disney+ streaming service with this new version.
STARK: "wow, your intellect is stunning. I look forward to seeing what you'll be able to accomplish in the next few years"

Better yet, deepfake over him with someone he’d hate. Changes nothing, enrages him
That'd be funny, but pretty counterproductive.
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.
Petty-ass move.
It’s all he’s got, aside from that apartheid golden parachute
"free speech absolutist" lol
As another once said, “Elon Musk is a stupid man’s genius,” and after all of his tantrums, I see it as true.
And here I am just now learning that cars have streaming media apps? That seems insane to me in the first place...
Pretty sure they can only be used when parked like when you're charging. Even at a super charger, it's going to take 20-30 minutes to get back on the road.
Ah I didn't think of the charging times and maybe needing something to do while you waited. Alright, it's suddenly much more sane.
Why are there streaming apps in cars?
So I can watch something while I wait for my wife to finish shopping..
The streaming apps only work when the car is in park.
Kind of wild how this guy feels entitled to have people pay him
Eh, Tesla plays this game too?
Manchild.
Don't know why the hell you'd need a streaming service in your car anyways
Any of my knowledge of this is based on the show Succession, so I probably have no idea what I'm talking about, but couldn't Tesla's board remove Elon as CEO for making terrible decisions that negatively affect shareholders?
Yes, they could once they prove that Elon's actions are impacting the day to day at Tesla regardless of conduct. The issue is the board is made of sycophants who will vouch for Elon, namely James Murdoch, JB Straubel, and his brother, Kimbal Musk
And, if Elon had a real board, this probably would have already happened. This is a perfect example of why. What problem has Disney caused Tesla that they could possibly articulate to a customer that would justify this move and not cost them good will if nothing else, and sales likely especially as this gets a ton of coverage? "Yes, I understand your frustration, and yes I can hear your kid screaming in the background about not being able to watch Frozen while you're stuck charging. But you see, sir/madame, our CEO has a very, and I really have to make sure I state this correctly, but very tiny penis. It's so small, just constantly peeing on his balls (which are also very small.) We here at Tesla let him compensate for this by making the product worse for you, our paying customers. Anyway, can I interest you in a CyberTruck? Please? We've only sold 3 and my family needs to eat."
This week on billionaire's gossip: who's gonna pull their ads out of which social media network... and will they block each other on their app stores or IRL?! Stay tuned to find out if your Tesla is affected!!
