Overview
- Musk told his roughly 226–227 million X followers to "cancel Netflix for the health of your children," amplifying a DogeDesigner post that depicted Netflix as a Trojan horse for a "Transgender Woke Agenda."
- The call centered on the animated series Dead End: Paranormal Park, which features a transgender character and ran for two seasons in 2022 before being discontinued in 2023.
- Netflix shares fell about 2% to 2.4% during Wednesday trading, with some analysts cautioning the drop may also reflect broader market volatility.
- Google searches for canceling Netflix surged and users posted screenshots claiming to have ended subscriptions, yet outlets report no independent confirmation of large-scale churn.
- Business Insider reported Musk said he had already canceled his own subscription, and coverage situates his stance within his long-running anti‑'woke' rhetoric and family background.
