Netflix appears to be on shaky ground.
A staggering loss of over $15 billion in market capitalization took place within a week, according to Forbes. The precipitating factor? Tesla and X mogul Elon Musk’s provocative suggestion to his 227 million followers: cancel their subscriptions “for the health of your kids.”

This call to action was ignited when Musk criticized a Netflix cartoon titled Dead End: Paranormal Park, which prominently features a gay transgender boy and a bisexual girl with autism. This production is marketed toward audiences as young as seven years old, raising immediate concerns among parents and conservatives, as per reports from Newsmax.
OMG. Dead End: Paranormal Park, a show on Netflix, is pushing pro-transgender on CHILDREN.
This show is advertised for 7-YEAR-OLDS
It’s being promoted on @netflix kids now.

Momentum for the campaign mounted after the conservative platform Libs of TikTok highlighted the show’s content and unearthed unsettling allegations about its creator, Hamish Steele.
“Meet Hamish Steele, creator of a kid’s show on @netflix which teaches kids they can be transgender. After Charlie [Kirk] was assassinated, he called Charlie a Nazi and had a meltdown because people were mourning him. Netflix is SILENT. Their silence is deafening. CANCEL NETFLIX,” the account proclaimed on Wednesday.
Despite Steele’s rebuttal concerning his comments on Kirk, outrage festered among conservatives who found it unacceptable for Netflix to maintain such content that targets impressionable viewers.

The reaction was immediate, as Netflix’s stock plummeted by 2.4% this week, effectively erasing more than $15 billion from its value.
According to Newsmax:
Musk’s call to boycott has made a notable impact in a year that was otherwise robust for Netflix’s stock and profits. Shares have risen 30% since the start of the year, with January prices near $886. During the July earnings report, the company announced a 16% year-on-year revenue increase to $11 billion, alongside a 46% spike in net profit, reaching $3.1 billion.
Furthermore, Netflix raised subscription prices for all plans by at least $1 at the year’s onset.
This issue isn’t confined to Dead End: Paranormal Park; Libs of TikTok has also identified a slew of other shows allegedly pushing an LGBTQ agenda onto children.
HOLY SHIT. Show on @Netflix “The Baby-Sitters Club” pushes TRANSGENDERISM on KIDS, shames characters for “misgendering” and demands hospital staff refer to and treat a boy as a girl.
INSANITY
