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.

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.

A fool and his money are easily parted.

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.

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.

Don't know why the hell you'd need a streaming service in your car anyways

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.
