Netizens React to Elon Musk’s Netflix Cancellation, Cite Several Series With ‘Woke’ Trans Content Even As OTT Platform Faces USD 15.1 Billion Loss (View Posts)
Netflix lost USD 15.1 billion after Elon Musk criticised the platform for pro-trans and LGBTQ content, specifically 'Dead End: Paranormal Park' by Hamish Steele. Musk’s call to cancel subscriptions led users to react on social media, sharing concerns over shows promoting transgender and gay themes for children.
Netflix has reportedly lost USD 15.1 billion in market value after a wave of subscription cancellations followed Elon Musk’s criticism. The backlash began after Netflix hired Hamish Steele, creator of the animated series Dead End: Paranormal Park, which features LGBTQ content. Musk reshared posts from users on X who said they cancelled Netflix because Steele “celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk” and promoted “pro-trans content” for children. Charlie Kirk an American conservative activist, was shot and killed on September 10, 2025, while giving a speech at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Hamish Steele reportedly mocked Kirk’s death in previous posts, adding to the ongoing controversy.
Musk added, “Cancel Netflix for the health of your kids,” sparking a surge of similar reactions. Elon Musk has called transgender culture as 'woke', even though he has a transgender daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson. Following Musk’s comments, many users took to social media, tweeting about shows like Transformers Earthspark, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, CoComelon and more, they believe push transgender and gay culture. Some cited the show’s scenes where characters openly discuss being transgender, while others referenced Steele’s past controversial posts.
