Elon Musk Leads ‘Cancel Netflix’ Push Over Trans Representation in Kids’ Shows

The campaign traces back to a Libs of TikTok clip from Dead End: Paranormal Park highlighting its trans lead.

Overview

  • Since Sept. 30, Musk has urged users on X to cancel subscriptions, saying he ended his own and posting or reposting dozens of attacks on Netflix.
  • Musk has expanded his criticism beyond Dead End to children’s titles such as CoComelon, The Baby‑Sitters Club and a new Transformers cartoon referenced in viral clips.
  • Followers have shared screenshots claiming cancellations and related hashtags briefly trended, reflecting a visible online response to the call.
  • Netflix has not issued a public response, and Dead End: Paranormal Park was already cancelled in 2023 but remains a flashpoint through shared clips and lists.
  • Dead End creator Hamish Steele reported a wave of abusive messages, voice actor Zach Barack defended the character’s impact, and one outlet reported a modest Netflix share dip and a U.S. lawmaker’s plan to seek executive testimony.
