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.
If it weren’t for double standards, he’d have no standards at all.
And neither would the fanbois
His fanboys are mostly reich-wingers nowadays, and they’re completely impervious to reality-based arguments
Don’t forget that they are smug thinking they are saving the planet
Not sure how many diehard Musk / Tesla fans even believe in climate change
You ate correct, but they won’t waste any chance to be smug
Reich wingers are smug about that…?
Reich-Wingers… nice i’m totally stealing that
Share and enjoy
Go stick your head in a pig?
you don’t even own all the bits you do buy. you pay extra to unlock them. preinstalled, extra-cost dlc.
They won’t. His fanboys will find an excuse for his shitty behavior like they always do.
It’s like hoping flat earthers would suddenly come to their senses once they see the evidence. They won’t. They would find some other shitty excuse for their stupid belief.
Edit: stupid autocorrect. lol.
I do believe that flat feathers exists somewhere on this pale blue dot / sphere of a world. But methinks you accidentally added an “f” to eathers and don’t mean to talk about feathers.
I would guess that 80-90% of owners are ignorant (some willfully), or try to separate the man from the company, and not just unrepentant fanboys/girls
But yeah, agree on the fanboy thing. SpaceX too (which personally I find extra unfortunate since they’ve done some REALLY good things in the LEO launch market and space stuff in general).
I wonder how much of SpaceX’s success has happened not because of Musk, but despite him
I’m not even remotely a fan of the guy at this point, but from everything I’ve read, a lot of it was actually because of him.
Tesla too.
But also a lot of the negative parts of those companies, and failures. And at the Boring Company. And TwitX, etc.
Whatever contributions he’s made are rapidly evaporating, though. He had plenty of problems 1015 years ago, but the last 5 have been a massive, rapid slide in his contributions, reputation, etc.
Ah yes that must be why SpaceX employs multiple professional handlers whose responsibility it is to distract manchild Mosk with shiny bits whenever he gets close to making an actual decision
Even if true, someone can both be a piece of work and successful.
Like how a guy can be a complete moron piece of shit AND a top neurosurgeon.
Also that person can be a steadily worse neurosurgeon and become more and more just a moron piece of shit.
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.
You’d have to be a fool to give this guy your money.
A fool and his money are easily parted.
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.
SpaceX and starlink are dead in the water and utterly useless until Musk has them taken away. As long as he’s running those, they’re just shitty companies with lots of empty promises
I wouldn’t say they’re quite dead in the water but he definitely has plenty of power to enshitify them.
He already shut off the Ukraine from starlink when he felt like it.
Tit for tat Disney and Tesla.
If he fucks with SpaceX though, NASA can just stop dealing with them. They would go real quick from being profitable to begging for people to use their service.
If he starts getting a lot of back pressure from the EU and US on what he can launch, I can put a serious dent in his wallet.
You can? Because he already has. Please do!
SpaceX is the main contractor of NASA.
SpaceX has Musk handlers to keep Musk away from SpaceX.
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?
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.
“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.
You’re just the right kind of evil, that’s amazing.
Chaotic good?
Oh, Musk. You really wanna join the ranks with DeSantis?
You can not out lawyer the mouse.
He and DeSantis are already buddy buddy, DeSantis always seems to make sure to protect Musk’s interests whenever there’s some law change that effects Tesla/SpaceX.
Shit, Florida has already put provisions in place to protect SpaceX incase they accidentally kill someone.
Cancel culture.
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.
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.
That’d be funny, but pretty counterproductive.
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.
You can go with your wife, you know?
Unless the baby is sleeping and you don’t want to wake them.
I’d rather not leave a young child unattended, and she doesn’t need (or want) my help choosing fabric.
I was thinking the same thing. Waiting in the car like a lazy child.
Why not just stream your phone to the screen?
I could. But it’s a much nicer experience watching it on the 15” central display than a phone.
I think you misunderstood me
I did misread it.
I’m not sure I understand what the point of using your phone would be? The car already has cellular connectivity which enables things like viewing security cameras remotely, turning on air conditioning, etc. So it’s not like a streaming app is tall ask.
Why necessitate a workaround for a billionaire man baby’s tantrum?
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.
As another once said, “Elon Musk is a stupid man’s genius,” and after all of his tantrums, I see it as true.
Don’t know why the hell you’d need a streaming service in your car anyways
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.
More for passengers than for the driver. Or if you’re parked up.
I guess you don’t become the manufacturer of the brand with the most auto collisions without putting a big screen on the dash and offering a dozen streaming services.
Though I suspect there’s a correlation between being stupid / selfish / lazy / unpredictable and owning a Tesla.
Oh geez, I want to give you an upvote for the first half and a downvote for the second.
It’s a whiplash experience to move so quickly between fair-minded discussion and needless arrogant bigotry.
This entire thread has been rampant generalisations and shitting on an entire group of people for owning a product. Real Reddit energy which I ignorantly thought we’d be better about.
Yeah, Elon sucks, but all of a sudden that must mean Tesla owners are Nazis? Come on, what a load of bullshit.
If you want to call me bigoted against Tesla owners I will laugh at you and wear that badge.
I think a person that buys a car from a cryptofaciest’s company, known for their labor rights suppressions, poor build quality, poor design quality, poor resale value, and poor maintenance options, Is a dumbass.
As we all know, Dr. Martin Luther King’s speech…
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by
the color of their skinthe politicians they choose to support, the billionaires they give their money to, and the decisions they make, but instead by…Wait wut? Judging people for being shitheads is allowed?
Bigotry: Obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction, in particular prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group
Being a bigot against Nazis is a-okay in my book.
Judging people for what they have done and what they believe in is 100% fine and compatible with Dr. martin Luther King.
Let’s be honest, Tesla is the new BMW, the brand associated with self-important upper-middle-class management pricks.
“BMW always stops with a jerk” has been a joke since before Tesla existed, and now Tesla has inherited the throne.

What a tantrum-throwing manchild.
