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.

I mean, there’s probably very limited value in having a streaming service for the front display in a car anyway. The only time you’d use it is when you’ve got half an hour to kill while you’re charging on the go.

That’s motivated thinking, not cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is the uneasy feeling when trying to balance opposing thoughts. If someone’s blindly following BS, what they are distinctly lacking, is cognitive dissonance.
