Musk takes a shot at Disney!

I guess you have to be careful what fights you want to start?


While many will find this childish, I actually find it quite enduring. Not sure exactly what Disney believes they are accomplishing by pushing woke politics every time they turn around. They seem to keep shooting themselves in the foot and losing billions in the process.

I go back to the arguments from liberals when Twitter was the bastion of censorship (almost exclusively of conservative views whether they were right or wrong). They kept suggesting (wrongly) that Twitter was a private company who could do what they wanted. Actually they were a publicly traded company and the people running the show had what is known as a Fiduciary responsibility to do what was right to the ownership (aka the stockholders). Of course, legally that meant doing what would make them the most money. They did nothing of the sort, reducing twitter from a 70 billion dollar company to a company that Elon Musk overpaid for with a 44 billion dollar tender in less than a year under the previous woke CEO.


But alas, now Twitter (X) is a privately held company owned by a single person. And his only fiduciary responsibility is to himself. He can literally do whatever he pleases and tell advertisers to GFT all day long. Now it is certainly possible that someone will complain because Tesla is public company, but whether or not Disney Plus is on the dashboard will not likely sway any car buyers. The fact that so many cars now offer Apple features (but not android) features appears similar in nature, but nobody is suing them. I am also guessing that if someone wants to get to Disney plus, that they can. It just will no longer be default.
