Disney Experiences Boycott Following Negative Remarks by Elon Musk

Disney is currently dealing with a user boycott as a result of derogatory comments made by Elon Musk, leading to a massive cancellation of Disney+ subscriptions. Musk directed the inappropriate comment, "go f-k yourself," at Disney CEO Bob Iger after the entertainment giant decided to pause advertising on a platform Musk is affiliated with.

Musk's Controversial Remarks

The negative remarks came about as a response to rising controversy around Musk. Consequently, Disney became one of several companies choosing to halt advertising on the platform formerly known as Twitter. This decision appears to have instigated a significant user departure from Disney+ and ignited a burgeoning boycott.

Impact on Disney+ Subscriptions

Recent reports indicate that thousands of users are now cancelling their Disney+ subscriptions following Musk's offensive comment to CEO Bob Iger. Musk felt blackmailed over advertising decisions on his platform, leading to his harsh response.

Musk's Stance on Advertising Blackmail

Musk has been involved in a controversy over the past few weeks due to posts made on his platform. A significant number of platforms have expressed their intention to stop advertising on this social media network. Disney, one of the largest of these brands, is now experiencing the backlash.

Musk was quite vocal regarding his thoughts on the companies choosing to exit the platform. Speaking to Andrew Ross Sorkin of the New York Times, the CEO of SpaceX made his feelings clear towards advertisers with his pointed comment. In one part of his tirade against blackmail efforts, he directly addressed Iger. Musk made a bold declaration that users "already are," boycotting Disney services.
