Porsche/VW Group CEO Oliver Blume isn't running around saying he will fight another auto company's CEO for building a competitor, only to have his mommy say he can't fight. He isn't going around saying he will build a submarine to save some kids in a Thai cave, only to then call the actual rescuer a pedo (with no evidence btw). Unlike Elon Musk, he does not have a knee-jerk reaction to anything against him or his companies, and certainly do not announce it publicly, because like almost all other companies and their CEOs, decisions take empirical and statistical data, not emotional response which seems to be Elon's specialty.
Apple TV vs. Amazon comparison you made is laughable... the product you mentioned specifically, Apple TV and Prime TV are DIRECT competitors.
I do not recall Disney making cars, or charging stations
I do not recall Tesla owning hotels, amusement parks, or a vast array of TV/Movie/Music studios
The two exists on vastly different markets, selling vastly different things.
Disney decides to suspend ad sales on Elon's non public company
Elon's standard knee-jerk reaction to this is to affect the products in his own public company. The entire thing happened all in chronological order, all in one month. It's not a decision against a competitor as I have stated, it was against a non competitor that happens to have an app in his product. A wildly popular one at that to a large part of his customer base.
Are you able to say, that disabling access to Disney+ isn't based on an emotional and knee-jerk reaction from ONE PERSON for another company's internal marketing spending decisions? A decision Disney made that likely had statistical backing, and deciding that the loss of revenue from the spending on X is worth it to retain the company's own image?
Merry Christmas to you.  |
I'm simply using the same emoticons the OP used to describe Musk... as I have no idea what 🤬 👶 means. Please at least try to follow the conversation if you're going to get involved.
Second I don't give two shits about Musk. However it's telling that you assume I'm a "Muskrat" just because I don't agree with everything and anything negative that is said about the guy.
The guy is crazy, I'm sure a few hundred billion will do that to a lot of people. I feel fairly confident there's a lot of crazy billionaire CEOs out there. Unfortunately for Musk he has decided to be very public about his craziness. If Musk weren't so public and on everyone's radar only the 3 people who watch TV in their Tesla would have even noticed or cared about Disney+.
Yet crazy as he may be it doesn't mean I have to agree with everything anyone says about the guy... like he's going to brick all Teslas just because... which was the entire point I was addressing. I know, I know... we want everything to be black and white. Musk is either Jesus reborn and you're a "Muskrat" or he's the devil incarnate and must be burned at the stake by the anti Musk cult, unfortunately that's not how the world works. He's just a guy, sometimes he wrong about shit, sometimes he's right, sometimes he does crazy shit I don't like and sometimes he does crazy shit I like.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
