Netflix is presently being ruined by the “virus” of wokeness, according to the world’s richest person, Elon Musk.
Musk Hammers It Home on Wokeness Musk declared it is the “woke mind virus,” which is simply “making Netflix unwatchable.”
His diagnosis came after Netflix’s own quarterly report, showing in the first quarter of 2022, the company lost 200,000 subscribers.
The report, which also forecasts the loss of another two million subscribers by the end of June, caused Netflix shares to tank by 25%.
Over the years, Netflix has been increasingly criticized for the wokeness of its productions, but over the past one to two years, many are viewed as “unwatchable”, in Elon Musk’s wording.
Wokeness seeks to achieve communism’s eternally evil goal of “class warfare” and the destruction of capitalism, freedom, and democracy.
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO’s diagnosis of Netflix’s decline came as he was replying to a tweet about the appalling performance of the streaming service.
After Musk posted the tweet about Netflix being pummeled by “the woke mind virus”, one of his millions of followers replied the “woke mind virus” is actually nothing short of the “biggest threat to civilization.”
Musk is presently trying to take over Twitter, one of the top “social media” censorship platforms of the informal alliance between Big Tech and the Biden administration.
The Twitter board rejected Musk’s $43 billion takeover offer, but he is still seeking other paths to achieve his goal. He is the company’s largest shareholder with 9.2%, which he bought earlier this month for $3 billion.
Netflix is Blind to Wokeness Amid Decline A huge part of Elon Musk’s agenda in seeking to take over Twitter is to crack down on wokeness.
Wokeness has seen the banning of former President Trump, while radical Islamist terrorists who are promoting the West’s destruction, such as the Taliban and even more radical factions, have been allowed to keep a far-reaching presence.
As an attempt to beat back its troubles, Netflix, being the self-defeating victim of wokeness, is mulling the introduction of advertisements and measures to try to stem password sharing.
Its new approach is presently being tested in three Latin American nations – Costa Rica, Peru, and Chile.
Netflix estimates there are about 10 million households who use other people’s accounts for accessing the streaming service, thus evading the subscription fee.
The streaming company itself made no mention whatsoever of wokeness as a core cause of its seeming decline.
Instead, it blamed the ending of the COVID-19 pandemic measures.
Netflix also blamed people’s different respective mindsets, along with the growing cost of living, presently accelerated by the Russian war against Ukraine.
Finally, Netflix also laid blame at the feet of rival platforms, such as Apple TV, Disney+, Warner Bros Discovery, Paramount, and Now TV.
I think both Obamas are involved, as well as Susan Rice.
“Who cares what the skin color of the ballerina playing Klara is?!?”
You don’t; some do. We’re allowed to object to this obvious racism.
A few months ago we binge watched Lillyhammer on Netflix. Very weird, but entertaining.
We don’t pay for it as it comes with T-Mobile, but we’ll be cancelling both soon. Both are to woke.
If you look back a few years ago, a large contingent here hated Musk because of the Federal subsidies for his electric cars, and the general sentiment that electric cars are, you know, a commie plot.
Things have turned around. Now the libs hate him.
Vikings: Valhalla.
It's a sequel to the top hit Vikings (that did not feature a multi-racial cast) and takes place 100 years after the original.
The woman in the photo is the character of Jarl Estrid Haakon who rules over the fictional Viking city of Kattegat and is based on the actual historical character of Haakon Ericsson, a white male who served as the Governor of Norway under Canute the Great from 1012 to 1015.
Glad I haven’t bothered to watch it!
Its not racism to point ludicrous casting!
Think John Wayne as Genghis Khan in the movie “The Conqueror”!
Not that Omar Sharif was any more appropriate!

AH! Now I understand the discrepancy between 2 prior posts I’d read (200k vs. 2M). I don’t believe that the first article quantified the 2M through June.
Again, “deserved.”
“Netflix Getting Destroyed by Virus of Wokeness”
it’s not just the woke garbage that’s unwatchable, but pretty much everything else is dreck as well ... even the old movies they’re dredging up were execrable losers when they were made ...
I have Netflix but I only watch a few shows on it.
