What Peltz says and what Peltz does are not the same. Further evidence that he cannot be trusted.

He deserves it after the pain he went thur with Chapek. Why, I think Iger needs is the largest hot tub just for him to relax in and have a whole team dedicated to scrubbing his tub (like in Spirited Away).

Yes, we call that PR. But know what... there is still a huge difference between 'unsolicited' and coerced. Just because they are likely solicited, doesn't discredit the fact they are willing to go on-record with highly public statements backing the existing board. These folks aren't under the board's thumb - they are making statements they believe better the company, or their SIGNIFICANT holdings with the company.
You're talking people that literally own tens, or hundreds of millions of dollars of stock. That's a huge chunk of their wealth on the line. No amount of Iger buttkissing outweighs the significance of their nestegg.

Lobbying for other Board Candidates besides ones coming from tainted agendas.

Which press conference had that bit of melodramatic storytime in it?
That’s what everyone should do

Disney's communications and shareholder relations teams are going in overdrive. I'm getting the sense that Peltz is unprepared for the full-on assault of Disney PR in the mainstream media. He's not the first though. I could tell DeSantis also got somewhat overwhelmed by the full-court press Disney's communications team conducted. This leaked story about Trian not voting for Iger is a good example. An "anonymous" person "familiar with the matter" leaks Trian didn't vote for Iger. This is the sort of tactics that gets used in political campaigns. Peltz has not been nearly as effective at responding to Disney's assaults.
Does that mean that Peltz is going to lose? Not necessarily. While losses in the mainstream-media space hurt, I don't think they'll end up being decisive. But the more stuff Disney can dredge up, the better for their outcome.
I'm still waiting for how the Murdoch family votes. That's going to be an essential one. My initial inclination was that their blocks of shares would vote for Iger. But...
"Rupert Murdoch is a good friend of mine."

I've tried to figure out their current ownership. I saw some rumors that the shares were divided amongst the family members. Lachlan, I could see leaning Iger. But if Rupert still has 4%+ of Disney under his control and is friends with Peltz... I mean, that could be significant. That would be quite the betrayal though.
We're going to need to see what happens in the next few days on endorsements. I'm still anticipating an Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg to come out in favor of Iger. They're well-liked people who are friends with Iger. Many more surrogates are in the wings waiting for their reveal!

They're certainly pulling out all the stops, but wouldn't dare tap their influential allies to put out statements of support. That's taking it a bit too far, don't you think?
You know who would have put a stop to all this nonsense in about 3 days with a knife in Peltz's back?
If anyone is silly enough to try and claim Iger really, really meant to leave in the past but he just couldn't find a qualified successor... I have a bunch of prime real estate in southern Florida I would be willing to sell you for a great price. After all, if you're stupid enough to buy that line of BS "thinking", you'll snap up this sweetheart deal in a heartbeat.
"No, really, Bob meant to leave at the end of his contracts in the past! Honest!"
