But here's where it gets controversial... Elon Musk has incited a call to 'cancel Netflix' on X (https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1973444966476349872) after critics argue the streamer is promoting 'woke' programming for children. According to Forbes (https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2025/10/01/musk-doubles-down-on-cancel-netflix-calls-over-trans-character-and-directors-charlie-kirk-post/), Musk urged people to 'Cancel Netflix' while sharing a post (https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1973411970675093961/photo/1) from @LibsofTikTok, which featured a portion of a report showing an increase in underrepresented personnel across creators, producers, writers, and directors between 2018 and 2023. Another part highlighted an increase in underrepresented leads/co-leads in series by year. The account also criticized the animated series Dead End: Paranormal Park (http://decider.com/show/dead-end-paranormal-park), which features a transgender character voiced by Zach Barack (https://x.com/@zachbarack) and was revealed to be trans in real life. Musk responded by stating the show promotes pro-transgender content for children, urging parents to avoid it. Meanwhile, Variety reported that creator Hamish Steele (https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/elon-musk-cancel-netflix-dead-end-paranormal-park-trans-story/) had received 'extremely nasty weird homophobic and antisemitic emails' and admitted he may have been on the down low. The account also claimed that Charlie Kirk (https://decider.com/tag/charlie-kirk) was attacked by fans and faced a meltdown after his death. In response, Musk shared a screenshot indicating his concerns. Supporters have also canceled subscriptions, with screenshots showing the decline in shares (https://x.com/stillgray/status/1973671932924150118) as of today. Net promoter day has fallen 3.5% since the cancellation.
