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.

What kind of OS is the Tesla infotainment system running? Are companies writing custom apps from scratch for it or just porting their Android apps for it?

It's Linux. They're just loading web apps in the browser.

Can't tell if you're joking about it all being electron or not. Either way, funny as fuck

Not electron, the theater apps just load the respective service's regular web app. The bulk of the car's UI is built in QT last I remember, though the newer music apps (Apple Music and the Spotify redesign) are web apps also.

Generally some of the best automotive UI, but the competition surely isn't very strong.

qt-7 is released and every Tesla gets bricked trying to update.

Still a terrible overall design because every basic piece of information and feature is centralized on a screen that drivers can choose to keep in the center. And as you know, drivers are very intelligent and aware people.
