Elon Musk is calling for a boycott of Netflix in response to the streaming platform’s original animated series, Dead End: Paranormal Park, which features a trans character.
Dead End: Paranormal Park aired for two seasons in 2022 and was canceled by Netflix in January 2023. However, the show caught the attention of Musk after far-right social media accounts began recirculating clips of the series this week.
The show’s creator, Hamish Steele, shared to his BlueSky account that “It’s probably going to be a very odd day” after Musk retweeted a post from Libs of TikTok calling out Dead End: Paranormal Park for “pushing pro-transgender of CHILDREN.” The post claimed the series was “advertised for 7-YEAR-OLDS” and “promoted on Netflix Kids now,” to which Musk added: “This is not ok.”

In a separate anti-Netflix retweet, Musk stated, “Cancel Netflix for the health of your kids.”
“It’s all lies and slander! Netflix is NOT promoting at the moment!,” Steele responded in a now-deleted post on BlueSky.
“I have mostly been very ok today and found it all quite funny, while really appreciating everyone who has reached out, but the extremely nasty weird homophobic and antisemitic emails have started rolling in and it is getting a little scary so I apologize if I take longer to respond to stuff,” Steele wrote in another deleted post on BlueSky, according to Variety. He later added that the attacks were enough for him to take a break from social media: “I will just say today is much much worse and I am going to basically be on the down low for the foreseeable. My apologies.”

Thousands dropped their Netflix accounts in just a matter of hours after posting. The hemorrhaging at @netflix continued all night.
