He called on his followers this week to cancel their subscriptions to a dispute that emerged around the animated show “Dead End: Paranormal Park” and its creator, Hamis Style.
On Wednesday, Musk wrote on his platform, X: “cancel Netflix for the health of your children.” The post was replied in an image accusing Netflix of promoting a “transgender woke agenda”.

The controversy seems to stem from the reaction of conservatives to a series of Netflix cartoon, starring a teenager. The series premiered in 2022 and was canceled in 2023 after two seasons.
Its creator, Style, replied to Musk through the bluesky opposing platform, saying: “It will probably be a very strange day.”
He also shared a post by screenwriter Jack Bernhard, who described the Dead End “an excellent series of kind, wonderful characters.”
Netflix’s stock fell about 2% on Wednesday morning amidst market lobbying.
Although Musk himself has a 21 -year -old trans daughter, he has been strongly criticized trans people in recent years. Musk criticized his daughter’s lentation, saying that the “virus of the awakened mind” had “killed” his alienated child. She has spoken to her father’s views.
