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.
Jesus it really is just a full blown TV in the center console huh?
How are there not more stories about people crashing cus they're watching TV in the car
Because it only works when the vehicle is parked.
I've had to drive several Ford trucks recently. I shit you not it was one of the most dangerous experiences I've had because there are 0 buttons. Everything is on the touch screen, so instead of having the tactile confirmation of a button being pressed or the knowing the location of a knob, you have to go through several menus and dropdown selections to do basic shit like changing the volume, temperature, air flow, etc. And there's like a 900 ms latency so you have to check whether or not your sweaty, greasy fingers actually pressed the option.
(the volume is analog but i swear it was virtual on mine)
Yea my last boss leased 150s. Nothing like almost dying because he's half off the road going 65 on back roads while staring at a computer moniter trying to get fox news back on the radio.
