Elon Musk is urging parents to boycott Netflix, accusing the streaming giant of pushing a “transgender woke agenda” on children.
In a meme shared on X that Musk reacted to on Oct. 1, Netflix was depicted as a Trojan Horse with its contents labeled “transgender woke agenda,” which was being wheeled into a castle marked “your kids.”

“Cancel Netflix for the health of your kids,” Musk wrote in his post, a day after criticizing the animated show “Dead End: Paranormal Park” for featuring transgender storylines and themes.
“This is not ok,” Musk wrote in a separate message, amplifying a post by Libs of TikTok that included a clip from the series.

Marketed as suitable for children aged 7 and up, the show includes a character who comes out as identifying as transgender.
The character says, “I’ve never been happier,” and the character stresses the importance of “living your life without apology.”
Libs of TikTok described the program as “pushing pro-transgender” messages on children and accused it of “grooming kids.”
“The scary part is how prevalent this is in kids’ shows,” the account stated. “They’re infected.”
They’re grooming kids. The scary part is how prevalent this is in kid’s shows. They’re infected.

Earlier, Musk said he had canceled his Netflix subscription, citing a post by Dead End creator Hamish Steele that conservatives described as celebrating the murder of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. Steele made the comments in response to a condolence message posted by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer after Kirk’s assassination. Starmer had called the killing “heartbreaking,” while urging civility and rejecting political violence. Steele replied with profanity, accusing Starmer of hypocrisy over arms sales and calling Kirk a “random nazi.”

If you employ someone who celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk and makes content that pushes pro-trans content on my kids…
…you will NEVER get a dime of my money
It's as simple as that. https://t.co/N8qFetvSsH pic.twitter.com/ROr5jFFunu
Musk’s boycott call was quickly echoed by a number of conservative influencers, who urged others to drop the service.
Netflix is doubling down on pushing woke and trans ideology at children.

Parents should think twice before letting their kids watch.
Even Elon Musk has had enough and canceled his Netflix subscription today.

Netflix shares fell by about 1.5 percent in pre-market trading on Oct. 1 as Musk’s comments circulated online.
The Epoch Times has reached out to Netflix with a request for comment.
Musk’s call comes amid a wider conservative pushback against corporate America’s adoption of LGBT-related content and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies.
