Elon Musk Calls for Netflix Cancellations Over Trans-Themed Kids’ Programming

The push has prompted cancellation screenshots alongside a brief stock dip, with no official Netflix response.

Overview

  • Musk posted "Cancel Netflix" and "Cancel Netflix for the health of your kids" on X, and replied "Same" to a user who said they canceled.
  • The boycott accelerated after Libs of TikTok resurfaced clips from Dead End: Paranormal Park and other children’s titles that feature LGBTQ+ characters.
  • Screenshots circulating that purport to show creator Hamish Steele calling Charlie Kirk a "Nazi" remain unverified; Steele denies celebrating Kirk’s death and says harassment forced a social-media break.
  • Dead End: Paranormal Park streamed two seasons in 2022 and was canceled in 2023, though clips remain available on Netflix, which rates the series TV-Y7.
  • Netflix shares fell about 2% Wednesday and were down again Thursday during trading, and outlets reported no official statement from the company.
