For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Electrek heard from a source that Tesla informed Disney+ last week that it would remove its native app from the Tesla Theatre in its vehicles without giving a reason as to why.

A few days later, Tesla told Disney that it would only remove the app for Tesla owners who never used the app before.

The automaker now appears to have acted on the threat, as many Tesla owners are reporting not seeing the Disney+ app in Tesla Theatre anymore. Others, presumably those who have used the app before, are still seeing the app available in their cars.

We were told that Tesla didn’t officially give a reason to Disney, but the message was sort of “read between the lines.”

Do tesla shareholders not care that the ceo is fucking with their customers because a company stopped advertising with his other company?

Ostensibly, tesla has nothing to do with xitter. How is this acceptable to anyone?

[–] RestrictedAccount 59 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The enshitification of a car some dipshit paid for.

People will hear about this every time they talk about buying a Tesla from now until forever.

[–] Uglyhead 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just wait until Apple and Google remove twitter from their stores.

Banned!

He’ll just start his own phone company. *neural link brain chip required *Starlink required at $11,000/month. *Oh, and it only accesses Xitter. *you can unlock your car too I guess **unlock feature requires you to get pregnant with another one of Musk’s kids.

Funny that:

I hadn’t thought of everything you had added. Damn good editions! Let’s make a Phony Stark Phone!

As well they should. What a fucking manbaby.

[–] ttmrichter 2 points 1 year ago

Is he even really a man in part any longer?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh no, Telsa drivers may have to look at the pedestrians they run over instead of watching Mickey and Goofy? Awwwww.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I assume its made for the passengers

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's mostly for time spent charging your car, same with all the games

[–] Chriswild 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Of which Teslas take longer to charge because they still can't do 800v batteries and chargers.

[–] GrayBoltWolf 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The cyber truck is 800v…?

[–] Chriswild 3 points 1 year ago

I'm sure all 5 of them and the limited V4 chargers that will actually change at 800v will eventually be enough to be of note. But currently the most common is Electrify America and Kia/Hyundai

On autopilot everyone in the car is a passenger. Outside of the car they might as well be dead?

Sounds like Musk is trying to blackmail. Iger should get on a stage and say "anyone that tries to blackmail me, go fuck yourself."

[–] SuckMyWang 9 points 1 year ago

Disney should threaten to sue Tesla for freely choosing to remove the Disney app

[–] Everythingispenguins 2 points 1 year ago

Iger has no need to do that. All he has to do is release the lawyers. Having said that Disney will do nothing. It has zero effect on their bottom line.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I wish he could see the irony, but the guy has a negative amount of self-reflection.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Me: "Elon can't make Tesla's any shittier than they already are."

Muskrat: "Hold my beer."

[–] breadsmasher 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

People watch shows while driving?!

[–] NIB 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Electric cars need time to charge, so you can watch stuff while waiting for the batteries to charge.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Doesnt most charging take place at home?

[–] NIB 6 points 1 year ago

Not if you want to go on a roadtrip.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

This is a weird ass trend i started to see. People use their phone for navigation and their car display to watch tv while driving. I've seen it the first time like 3month ago, but since then ever so often.

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 1 year ago

People text while driving. Is that really so surprising?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I mean, it's his right. Just as it's Disney's right to not advertise on Nazis R Us.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kind of messed up Tesla takes action because of a spat on Twitter though.

[–] HollandJim 6 points 1 year ago

The Board should have oversight on this, but then there are family members and sycophants on the board, so…

[–] ttmrichter 9 points 1 year ago

Ah, yes. Capitalism at its finest. Two dick-waving walking egos have a tussle and everybody else pays the price.

At least here it's something that doesn't matter.

[–] dynamojoe 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't even know I had D+ in my car and I am a subscriber. Nonetheless, thanks for making my car worse, Elon!

[–] Uglyhead 2 points 1 year ago

Hey now, don’t talk shit on Phony Stark, he may ban you from using your car.

[–] AA5B 1 points 1 year ago

Just used it for the first time today on my way home from work, so hopefully I keep it
