All through this week, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk intensified calls to cancel Netflix with a slew of posts (and replies) on X.<\/p>\n

This comes after he called out Hamish Steele, the creator of ‘Dead End: Paranormal Park’, an animated horror series on Netflix.<\/p>\n

Just last month, the London-based animation director had called slain conservative activist and Trump ally Charlie Kirk a “nazi”, among other expletives, in a BlueSky post.<\/p>\n

Charlie Kirk died on September 10 after a single gunshot to the neck during a public appearance at a Utah university.<\/p>\n

Following a post on X alleging that Steele’s show was also “pushing” pro-transgender content on children—which Musk reposted and replied to—the debate also became about Netflix’s programming, LGBTQ agenda, and the streaming giant’s hiring policies.<\/p>\n

“It’s probably going to be a very odd day,” Steele replied to Musk in a BlueSky post, with a screenshot of the latter’s posts against Netflix.<\/p>\n

“Cancel Netflix”, Musk wrote in one post. In another post, he urged netizens to do it “for the health of your kids”, referring to a “transgender woke agenda” allegedly being pushed on children.<\/p>\n

He also continues to respond and repost screenshots of other people’s Netflix cancellations, urging more to join the bandwagon.<\/p>\n

The world’s richest man has often made remarks against what he calls the “woke mind virus”.<\/p>\n

The Musk-led ‘Cancel Netflix’ controversy comes weeks after the streaming giant’s co-founder Reed Hastings donated $2 million to a campaign supporting California Governor (and Democrat) Gavin Newsom’s redistricting efforts.<\/p>\n

The contribution quickly sparked a “cancel Netflix” trend on X, with MAGA supporters publicly pledging to cancel their subscriptions in protest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
