Tesla CEO’s issues with Disney ad on X are now affecting innocent Tesla owners.
Tesla then removed the Disney+ app from a number of its vehicles Elon Musk last month, stepped up his childhood feud with Disney chief executive Bob Iger.
Disney stopped advertising on X when Musk agreed to anti-Semitic content being posted on the social media platform. While the X owner and Tesla boss apologized a week later, during an interview with a reporter from The New York Times in late November, he lashed out at advertisers, telling advertisers: “Go to hell” if they think of extorting money from him. He then brought up Bob Iger.
I can confirm that Disney+ has been removed from my Tesla Model S.

Musk’s beef with Iger and advertisers more broadly on X now affects Tesla vehicle owners, as the Disney+ app will be removed from the Tesla Theater if the app was not previously used.
Fortunately, there is an easy solution. Full Mars blog he discovered that if you simply open the web browser on the affected Tesla model and type in Disney+, it will take you to the Disney+ home screen where you can watch shows and movies as usual. Additionally, by simply accessing the Disney+ site in a web browser, the app will reappear in the Tesla Theater.
In his Nov. 30 tirade against advertisers, Musk argued that a continued ad boycott on the X platform could eventually kill the company.
Musk stated that this advertising boycott would result in the demise of the company, making it widely known that the advertisers were responsible for its downfall, a narrative that we will meticulously record.
It’s unlikely that Disney is worried about their app being removed from the Tesla Theater by default, as it seems unlikely that many Tesla owners will be prompted to cancel any subscriptions they may have just because of it.
