Elon Musk, who has recently targeted numerous institutions and individuals from Apple to Wikipedia, has now taken on the streaming giant Netflix. Musk has launched a “Cancel Netflix” campaign on the social media platform X, calling for the termination of subscriptions.

The Musk-Netflix war has begun

Musk, who has harshly criticized Netflix, accuses the platform of brainwashing children and young people. Musk shared an image on X depicting it as a Trojan horse trying to smuggle “woke trans propaganda” into homes.

Along with this image, he posted a message that read, “Cancel Netflix for the health of your children.” Musk has reiterated this call in multiple posts over the past 24 hours and continues to retweet posts from users who support him.

Elon Musk has personal reasons behind this action. Musk has a transgender child, Vivian Jenna Wilson, with whom he is no longer estranged. Musk, who previously blamed “woke” culture for Vivian’s decisions, openly stated that he declared war on this culture because of his own child’s experiences. Musk’s specific focus on the transgender issue in this attack on Netflix confirms this.

This call for action by Musk resonated with a certain audience. Musk shared another tweet filled with screenshots of cancellation pages. It seems certain that this movement against Netflix, initiated by a figure with such a broad reach, will have some impact.

However, it is reported that this call does not prove how many people actually canceled their Netflix subscriptions, and the extent of the movement’s impact will become clear in the coming days.
