Conservative Media Highlight Hamish Steele’s Kirk Post as Musk Says He Canceled Netflix

Conservative media outlets connect a profane BlueSky message about Charlie Kirk to a push for Netflix cancellations led by Elon Musk.

Overview

  • Hamish Steele, creator of the canceled Netflix animated series Dead End: Paranormal Park, posted on BlueSky on September 11 calling Charlie Kirk a “nazi” in an expletive-laden message, according to the reports.
  • Libs of TikTok captured Steele’s post and shared it on X, bringing wider attention to the message beyond BlueSky.
  • Elon Musk replied “Same” to a user who said they canceled Netflix and later said he canceled his own subscription, while also replying “He’s a groomer” to a post about the show, per Blaze Media.
  • Breitbart frames the reaction as a wave of Netflix cancellations tied to the post and to the show’s transgender storyline aimed at young viewers; the series ended in 2023 after two seasons.
  • Breitbart also asserts that Steele is among “thousands” who celebrated Kirk’s assassination, a characterization presented without independent corroboration in the articles provided.
