Elon Musk is calling for a boycott of Netflix, urging parents to cancel their subscriptions over a children’s show he believes promotes inappropriate content for young viewers.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO posted on X (formerly Twitter), responding to users saying they had canceled Netflix. Musk replied with a simple: “Same.” In another post, he advised: “Cancel Netflix for the health of your kids.”
The show in question is Dead End: Paranormal Park, an animated series that premiered in 2022 and ran for two seasons. It follows a group of teens navigating a haunted amusement park. A resurfaced clip shows the protagonist, Barney Guttman, saying he is transgender — a moment that has drawn criticism from conservative groups online.

Despite the backlash, the show holds a 100% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 73% audience score.https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573537220192
Musk’s comments echo his broader criticism of transgender issues, including his strained relationship with his daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, who publicly transitioned in 2022. Musk has previously blamed “woke ideology” for their estrangement.
This is not the first time Netflix has faced criticism over LGBTQ+ content. The platform previously defended controversial specials like Dave Chappelle’s, citing support for creative freedom despite public pushback.
