Alleged 'Trans-Ideology': Elon Musk Calls for Netflix Boycott - Elon Musk Calls for Netflix Boycott Over Transgender Portrayal
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has sparked controversy by calling for a boycott of Netflix. He cited concerns about the health of children and criticism of the streaming service's portrayal of transgender characters.
Musk's call to action follows his disapproval of Netflix's animated series 'Dead End: Paranormal Park', which features a transgender character. He urged followers to cancel their subscriptions to safeguard their children's well-being. This isn't the first time Elon Musk has taken issue with transgender portrayals in media.
The boycott call comes amidst personal family matters. Elon Musk's eldest child, who was born male, transitioned to female in 2022. The child changed her name to 'Vivian Jenna Wilson'. Musk has publicly expressed his distress over his child's transition, referring to it as his child being 'killed' by a 'woke virus'. However, the child has since cut off contact with Elon Musk.
Elon Musk also referenced a Netflix statement highlighting an increase in the number of non-white directors and lead actors in their programs. His criticism, however, focused on the portrayal of transgender characters.
Elon Musk's boycott call has drawn attention to the ongoing debate surrounding transgender representation in media. While Netflix has not yet responded to Elon Musk's criticism, the streaming service has been actively promoting diversity and inclusion in its programming.
