TV show makes Elon Musk
Based on the provided text, here is a paraphrased summary in seven paragraphs under 250 words.
Elon Musk is calling for a boycott of Netflix, urging people to cancel their subscriptions. His criticism targets a specific show on the platform, “Dead End: Paranormal Park,” despite its high critical rating.
Musk endorsed posts from users stating they were canceling Netflix, writing “Same” in one instance. He specifically recommended that parents cancel the service “for the health of your kids.”
The controversy stems from a resurfaced clip from the animated series. In it, the main character, Barney Guttman, states that he is transgender.
The show is rated TV-Y7 and aimed at children. This has drawn criticism from certain groups, who argue such content is inappropriate for young viewers.
Musk’s stance aligns with his broader, public criticism of the transgender community. He has previously linked these views to his estranged relationship with his transgender daughter.
This is not Netflix’s first encounter with backlash over transgender issues. The platform previously faced calls for a boycott over Dave Chappelle’s comedy specials.
Netflix’s leadership has historically defended its creators. Co-CEO Ted Sarandos has stated that while it’s impossible to please everyone, the company remains committed to artistic freedom.
