Elon Musk this week urged his followers to cancel their Netflix subscriptions over a controversy surrounding an animated show and its creator.
Musk on Wednesday posted on his X platform saying, “Cancel Netflix for the health of your kids.” The post was in response to an image accusing Netflix of carrying out a “transgender woke agenda.”
Since Elon Musk called on users to cancel their subscriptions in protest of Netflix’s so-called ‘woke’ content, the company has seen its market value drop by $15.1 billion.
Elon Musk started the “cancel Netflix” protest days ago after he cancelled his Netflix subscription and publicly urged others to do the same if the platform does not stop featuring LGBTQ+ characters and storylines in children’s cartoons.
Musk, who has spoken about losing his son to gender transition, stated that he no longer feels comfortable allowing his children to watch television, claiming that much of the content now portrays Men married to men, Women married to women, Boys transitioning into girls, and vice versa.
According to Musk, media companies are making deliberate efforts to promote LGBTQ+ themes to children, which he strongly opposes.
