Elon Musk Blasts 3 Netflix Hits He Says Are Warping Gen Z

Elon Musk is mad at Netflix again, and this time he is trying to rally a full-on unsubscribe wave. Over the past few days he has been hammering the service on X, saying Netflix is pumping out kids content with gender ideology baked in and pushing what he calls anti-White policies. He is telling followers to cancel. Some are posting screenshots showing they did.

'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.'

That line was part of a string of posts on Oct 3, 2025. He also retweeted a bunch of conservative accounts, including @libsoftiktok, to spotlight three specific kids shows on the platform he says crossed the line. One small twist that might matter: fans are speculating Musk is angling to build or promote a rival to Netflix down the line. The rumor mill even has him tinkering with a Wikipedia alternative some are calling Grokipedia. That is speculation, not confirmed by Musk or X, but it is floating around and helps explain why some people see an ulterior motive.

How the Musk vs. Netflix flare-up started

This latest round kicked off Sept 30, 2025, when Musk amplified a post about Netflix animated series 'Dead End: Paranormal Park' and added 'This is not ok.' From there he kept going: on Oct 1 he quote-posted 'Cancel Netflix' in response to a clip from 'The Baby-Sitters Club.' By Oct 3 he was calling out 'Strawberry Shortcake' content with 'Why is "TransBerry" in a kids show on Netflix?' and 'Netflix is grooming our children.'

He also replied 'Same' to a user who shared a cancellation receipt, implying he nixed his own subscription. Whether he actually had an account is unclear.

The three shows Musk called out

1. Dead End: Paranormal Park (2022–2023)
   Animated series about a transgender boy named Barney and his autistic Pakistani-American best friend navigating a haunted theme park. It ran two seasons on Netflix before ending in 2023. After @libsoftiktok flagged the show, Musk reposted it on Sept 30 with his 'This is not ok' comment. Separate posts also tried to stir more outrage by resurfacing alleged comments from creator Hamish Steele insulting a conservative figure; those claims were traveling fast, but the details were messy and not independently verified in the usual way you would want before taking them as gospel.

2. The Baby-Sitters Club (2020–2022)
   Netflix’s adaptation of the classic book series drew praise at the time for being faithful and well-cast (Alicia Silverstone, Sophie Grace, Momona Tamada, Shay Rudolph, Xochitl Gomez). A circulating clip shows a storyline involving a transgender character and a misgendering scene; Musk re-upped calls to cancel Netflix on Oct 1 off that post. The show wrapped in 2022 but has found new attention lately thanks to the discourse cycle.

3. Strawberry Shortcake
   The long-running kids franchise got a 2021 relaunch, 'Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City.' It premiered on YouTube, later aired on Family Jr., and holiday specials hit Netflix globally in 2023. A user claimed a character dubbed 'TransBerry' appears in the show; Musk amplified that on Oct 3 with 'Why is "TransBerry" in a kids show on Netflix?' and followed with 'Netflix is grooming our children.' That is his language, not a verified description of the content.

What else got pulled into the blast radius

Once Musk zeroed in on 'Dead End,' other accounts piled on with additional titles, including 'Transformers: Earthspark' and 'Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous,' saying they push gender identity themes. To be clear, those are user claims, not new policy statements from Netflix.

Inside baseball, because this whole thing is messy

Musk framed this as 'saving the younger generation' and blasted what he calls anti-White bias at the platform. Some of his followers think he is setting the stage to compete with Netflix, the same way he is reportedly interested in a Wikipedia alternative after not getting his way with Wikipedia leadership. That part is conjecture, but it is absolutely part of why this story is as much culture-war theater as it is about specific shows.

Where Netflix stands

As of now, Netflix has not directly addressed Musk’s posts. The company has not issued a specific response to his accusations or to the calls for a boycott. We have seen a handful of users cancel and post receipts, but it is not clear how big that number is or if it sticks beyond the weekend outrage cycle.

Bottom line: Musk picked three kids titles to make a broader point about what he thinks Netflix is paying for and promoting. Whether this becomes a real dent in Netflix’s subscriber base or just another loud week on X will depend on whether this moves beyond retweets and into actual behavior.
