Elon Musk Says He Canceled Netflix as Boycott Builds Over ‘Dead End: Paranormal Park’ Creator’s Kirk Post

Screenshots of Hamish Steele’s BlueSky message alongside clips of the show’s transgender lead drove calls to drop the service.

Overview

  • Hamish Steele, creator of the animated series Dead End: Paranormal Park, was shown in circulated screenshots calling Charlie Kirk a “nazi” in an expletive-laden BlueSky post after Kirk’s Sept. 10 killing.
  • Libs of TikTok amplified the screenshots and a clip from the children’s show, triggering conservative backlash and subscription cancellation calls.
  • Elon Musk replied “Same” to a user announcing a Netflix cancellation and separately labeled Steele “a groomer” in posts on X.
  • Users posted images of canceled memberships as the boycott trended, and the coverage cited no prominent public response from Netflix.
  • Reports note Steele made some social accounts private following the uproar, while broader claims about large numbers celebrating Kirk’s death lack independent verification in these articles.
