Elon Musk Launches 'Cancel Netflix' Campaign Over Transgender Issues
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has launched a high-profile campaign, urging his 227 million followers to cancel their Netflix subscriptions. The campaign, which has gained traction on social media, alleges discrimination against white people and opposes the streaming service's portrayal of transgender issues in children's shows.
Musk's campaign, dubbed 'Cancel Netflix', targets specific shows such as The Baby-Sitter's Club, Dead End: Paranormal Park, and CoComelon, which he claims promote 'woke' and transgender ideology. He has been vocal on Twitter, retweeting right-wing accounts like LibsofTikTok and Benny Johnson to amplify his message. Despite the campaign's viral claims, there's no significant impact on Netflix yet.
Two of the targeted shows, The Baby-Sitter's Club and Dead End: Paranormal Park, have already been canceled, though Netflix hasn't confirmed if this is related to the campaign. The campaign also presents charts and graphs alleging Netflix discriminates against white people, but these claims remain unproven.
Transgender issues have been a contentious topic in recent political debates, with gender-affirming care for minors being a particular flashpoint. Musk's opposition to 'transgender ideology' in children's programming has sparked a heated discussion among his followers and beyond.
