Why is Elon Musk suing Disney?

Elon Musk isn't directly suing Disney, but he is funding a lawsuit filed by actress Gina Carano against Disney, claiming she was wrongfully fired from The Mandalorian for her conservative social media posts, which Musk sees as a free speech violation, and his company X is supporting her legal fight against what he calls Disney's "institutionalized racism and sexism" in their hiring/firing practices.

Are you not allowed to sue Disney if you have Disney Plus?

Yes, technically, signing up for Disney+ means you agree to its Terms of Service, which usually includes an arbitration clause (requiring arbitration instead of a lawsuit) and a class-action waiver, but courts often challenge applying these clauses to unrelated events (like a theme park injury) because the agreement should relate to the service. In a high-profile 2024 case, Disney tried to use a Disney+ agreement to block a wrongful death suit from a theme park death, claiming the husband agreed to the terms, but dropped the claim after public backlash, agreeing to go to court instead.

What is the 2Pm rule at Disney?

The "2 PM rule" at Disney World refers to the former restriction that prevented guests with Park Hopper tickets from entering a second theme park until after 2:00 PM; however, this restriction was officially removed for most guests on January 9, 2024, allowing park hopping at any time after entering your first reserved park (if required). While Annual Passholders still sometimes need reservations for their first park, and capacity can limit hopping, the strict 2 PM cutoff is largely gone, though it remains a key time for planning and understanding old policies.
