  • Musks posts on X included “Same” to a cancellation screenshot, “This is not ok,” and “Cancel Netflix for the health of your kids,” amplifying the boycott.
  • The controversy focuses on Dead End: Paranormal Park, a Netflix animated series featuring a transgender teen that originally streamed in 2022.
  • Viral screenshots alleging creator Hamish Steele celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death have not been independently verified, and Steele says he did not celebrate the killing.
