Elon Musk has unveiled his latest crusade against the media’s “woke agenda”: urging his audience to cancel their Netflix subscriptions. Musk spent most of Thursday, October 2 blasting Netflix to his 227 million followers on X. In approximately 30 different posts, the X owner and Tesla CEO slammed the streamer’s alleged promotion of a transgender “agenda,” citing supposed “sexualized content for children” in shows like CoComelon, Strawberry Shortcake, and The Baby-Sitters Club. (Vanity Fair has reached out to the creators of all three for comment.) Musk is the father of 14 known children—including model Vivian Jenna Wilson, who has been financially independent from Musk since she came out as transgender in 2020.

“Cancel Netflix for the health of your kids,” Musk wrote October 1, retweeting a meme showing Netflix hiding a “transgender woke agenda” in a Trojan horse entering a castle labeled “your kids.” In another X post, Musk wrote, “Netflix is deliberately choosing to pay people to create sexualized content for children. Freedom of speech should be respected, but this is PAID speech. Netflix is going out of their way and reaching into their wallet to push this.” He later accused Netflix of “grooming our children” with a clip of Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City featuring the cartoon depiction of drag queens, and reposted a tweet that read, “A Netflix show, CoComelon, features interracial gay dads attempting to raise a baby as transgender who make the toddler dance for them in drag. This is the woke version of Bacha Bazi.”

Musk recirculated numerous other posts, including one from right-wing activist account Libs of TikTok that targeted a clip of Netflix’s Dead End: Paranormal Park. The animated series, which was canceled by Netflix in 2022 after two seasons, featured a transgender lead character and actor. Controversial businessman Musk commented with the “100” emoji while retweeting conservative podcaster Benny Johnson claiming, “The real reason the Netflix cancellation campaign has gone so viral: Netflix is sexualizing children by packaging explicit, graphic, radical sex topics as ‘children’s entertainment’ / What Netflix is doing goes beyond a culture war fight. It’s immoral. / And It should be illegal….” Musk also linked to a March 2025 Tudum article titled “Celebrate Trans Day of Visibility with These 16 Movies and Shows” as supposed proof of Netflix promoting transgender rights and representation. Netflix hasn’t yet responded to a request for comment.

Actor Rob Schneider commended Musk for “standing up against the evil Trans indoctrination programming of our children on Netflix and Disney” in his own X post. Schneider encouraged Musk to buy “1 billion dollars in stock” in Christian conservative production company Angel Studios, apparently in an effort to counteract the output of Netflix content. Musk publicly disowned his transgender daughter Vivian Wilson after she changed her name in 2022. Wilson wrote on Meta’s Threads that she was “relentlessly harassed” by Musk as a child for exhibiting “femininity and queerness.” In a July 2024 interview with Jordan Peterson, Musk claimed that he “lost” his “son” after Wilson transitioned. Musk alleged that he had been “tricked” into approving gender-affirming care for her, saying that Wilson is now “dead, killed by the woke mind virus.” In a March 2025 transphobic tirade, Musk wrote on X that “hormone injections cause extreme emotional volatility.

5. "Reminder: Elon Musk to (Little Epstein) island Dec. 6 (2014)" allegedly.

He's literally in the Epstein files.

It's a real wonder how someone can be so well-off and still be such a shitty, hateful, stupid person. Like, go relax on a yacht somewhere, freak.
