Is Elon Musk So Petty That He’d Remove Disney+ from Tesla After Disney Stopped Ads on X?

Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA) has reportedly removed Disney+ from some of its vehicles following a recent fit that Tesla CEO Elon Musk threw during a live interview about advertisers like Disney halting their spending on X his social media platform — an entity that’s supposed to be separate from Tesla.

In November, X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, saw another advertiser exodus when Musk after progressive think tank Media Matters released a report that found that advertiser content from the likes of Disney, IBM, and Apple ran alongside pro-Nazi content.

The report coincided with Musk agreeing with an antisemitic post on X. Musk responded to the outrage by telling advertisers to “go fuck yourself” during a live interview at the New York Times‘ Dealbook Summit. He even had a special callout to Disney CEO Bob Iger:

“Hey, Bob, if you’re in the audience. That’s how I feel, don’t advertise,” Musk said. He also previously hosted the presidential bid announcement of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who has an equally futile feud with Disney in his home state.

According to Elektrek, Tesla informed Disney last week that it would remove the streaming app from Tesla Theatre in its vehicles but did not say why. Tesla then told the media giant a few days later that it would only remove the app for owners who have never used it before — which might explain why some users are seeing and some aren’t.

Investors have long said that Musk’s obsession with X is hurting Tesla, and this new move is taking that obsession to a new level. It remains to be seen how the removal will impact Disney+.
