In a lengthy post on X, Elon Musk has sparked a stir online. He called on users around the world to boycott Netflix, calling the platform “an out-of-control woke culture” after the company introduced the cartoon character Park, a transgender character, in a new series for teenagers. The trend immediately …
⚡Elon Musk rages: “Netflix is no longer making movies – they are making propaganda!”
In the post, which received more than 25 million views in just 4 hours, Musk bluntly wrote:
“Netflix is no longer a storytelling medium – they are trying to brainwash viewers. When children’s cartoons become political tools, they are no longer entertainment, they are propaganda. They should be deleted from all devices.”
The statement came just hours after Netflix released a trailer for the series “Park’s Adventures,” in which the main character – Park – is a transgender student described as “a symbol of courage and self-acceptance.”
But for Musk, that went too far. He accused Netflix of “imposing ideology on children” and warned that “woke culture is killing creativity.”
💣Media storm explodes: “#DeleteNetflix” climbs to Top 1 globally
Shortly after Musk’s statement, the hashtag #DeleteNetflix immediately climbed to Top 1 trending globally.
Users are divided into two camps:
One side supports Musk, saying “he is saying what millions of parents are thinking.”
The other side reacted violently, accusing Musk of “inciting hatred against the LGBTQ+ community.”
One user wrote:
“Elon Musk is trying to turn back the clock to the dark ages. Park is a symbol of courage, not politics.”
Meanwhile, Netflix’s official account quietly changed its profile picture to a rainbow icon, with the following text:
“We take pride in telling everyone’s story – no matter who they are.”
⚠️Netflix Stock Volatility – Hollywood’s Internal Reaction
Just hours after Musk’s post, Netflix shares fell 2.8% in morning trading. While not a sharp drop, analysts said this was a sign of a short-term loss of confidence from investors.
An unnamed Netflix executive told the Hollywood Reporter:
“Elon Musk has hundreds of millions of followers. When he says ‘delete,’ it’s not just rhetoric – it’s a real social media campaign.”
Hollywood’s biggest actors and directors were quick to respond. Actress Elliot Page (a famous transgender person who worked with Netflix on The Umbrella Academy) posted on X:
“No one gets hurt by seeing themselves on screen. But society gets hurt when powerful people use social media to spread fear.”
Musk responded: “I’m not afraid of being ostracized – but they should be afraid of people who are truly woke!”
Just hours later, Elon Musk followed up with three more provocative tweets:
“I don’t hate anyone. I just hate fakes.”
“You can be as ‘woke’ as you want – but don’t force kids to watch.”
“Netflix should be making movies, not moral lectures.”
People on social media immediately compared the incident to Musk’s previous attacks on Disney and ESPN. Some say he is using his influence to open a “cultural front” against Hollywood – something many conservatives in the US welcome.
🧨Commentators are calling it “the biggest culture war of 2025”.
Media experts say the Musk-Netflix spat is not just a dispute over gender in cartoons, but a confrontation between two models of American culture:
On one side is “liberal – tolerant – diverse culture”.
On the other side is “counter-woke culture – defending traditional values”.
An analyst for The Atlantic writes:
“Elon Musk is not just fighting Netflix. He is positioning himself as the leader of a counter-woke culture – something millions of Americans are quietly supporting.”
🗞️Conclusion: One tweet – one war
Just one tweet from Elon Musk, but it was enough to ignite the most fierce culture war in early 2025. Netflix is facing a boycott wave, and Musk – as usual – stands in the middle of the storm, smiles and… tweets back.
“If you want to live in the real world – watch reality, not Netflix.” – Elon Musk, latest tweet, more than 80 million views in just 12 hours.
