Tech billionaire Elon Musk has used his position as the CEO of Tesla to make another move in his war with Disney.
Muskās electric car company is no longer hosting the Disney+ streaming service as part of the entertainment platform in some of its vehicles, Electrek reported.
According to a source who spoke with the outlet,Ā Tesla ādidnāt officially give a reason to Disney, but the message was sort of āread between the lines.'ā
The change only applied to Tesla owners who had never opened the Disney+ app in their vehicle.
Musk came to blows with Disney last month after CEO Bob Iger decided to join other major companies and pause advertising on Muskās X platform, citing a post in which Musk agreed with allegedly anti-Semitic comments.
āI have a lot of respect for Elon and what heās accomplished,ā Iger said when questioned about the move at a New York Times conference.
āBy 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.ā
Musk responded with some strong language at the same conference, warning companies such as Disney not to āblackmailā him.
āIf someone is going to try to blackmail me with advertising ā blackmail me with money ā go f*** yourself,ā Musk said. āGo. F***. Yourself.ā
āIs that clear? I hope it is,ā he continued. āHey Bob, if youāre in the audience. Thatās how I feel. Donāt advertise.ā

Musk also said he regretted engaging with the post in question, which accused Jews of stirring up hatred against white people, explaining that he āshould have written in greater length what I meant.ā
āI handed a loaded gun to those who hate me and, arguably, to those who are anti-Semitic, and for that I am quite sorry,ā Musk said. āThat was not my intention.ā
