Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, has made a move in response to a conflict with Disney by removing the Disney+ streaming service from some Tesla vehicles.
This decision followed a dispute between Musk and Disney’s CEO, Bob Iger, after Iger paused advertising on Musk’s X platform due to Musk’s alleged agreement with anti-Semitic comments.
Musk publicly expressed regret for engaging with the contentious post, acknowledging that it inadvertently fueled those who oppose him and those with anti-Semitic views. (Trending: Democrat Targets U.S. Troops With New Gun Control Law)
Disney CEO Bob Iger responds to Elon Musk:
"I have a lot of respect for Elon and what he's accomplished. We felt the association with that position and Elon Musk and X was not necessarily a positive one for us and we decided we'd pull our advertising." pic.twitter.com/CtBZH0awLN

Eletrek reported that Tesla, “didn’t officially give a reason to Disney, but the message was sort of ‘read between the lines.’”
Iger said, “I have a lot of respect for Elon and what he’s accomplished.”
“By him taking the position that he took in quite a public manner, we just felt the association … was not necessarily a positive one for us,” he continued.
“If someone is going to try to blackmail me with advertising — blackmail me with money — go —- yourself,” said Musk.
“Go. —-. Yourself,” he repeated.
“Is that clear? I hope it is,” he continued. “Hey Bob, if you’re in the audience. That’s how I feel. Don’t advertise,” said the Tesla CEO.
“I handed a loaded gun to those who hate me and, arguably, to those who are anti-Semitic, and for that I am quite sorry,” said Musk.
“That was not my intention,” he added.
