Elon Musk tells 226 million followers to cancel Netflix, movement goes viral

Elon Musk told his 226 million X followers to “Cancel Netflix for the health of your kids” at 7:42 AM on October 1, 2025, and he had already replied “Same” to a user’s cancellation the night before, which sparked a #CancelNetflix wave.

His posts followed a clip of the animated series Dead End: Paranormal Park and renewed circulation of screenshots attributed to creator Hamish Steele after the September 10, 2025, killing of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.

Within hours, “#Cancel Netflix” trended on X, and the call drew millions of views. Netflix shares slipped about 2 percent in early trading, though analysts said the move tracked broader market jitters.

Netflix had not issued an on-record statement at press time. Steele later denied celebrating Kirk’s death.

People like this don’t have that smug smartass look on their face forever. He better enjoy it now.

From another source [Newsweek]:

"Hamish Steele, creator of Dead End: Paranormal Park, also said on his BlueSky account that he would be "on the down low for the foreseeable" amid fury from MAGA social media accounts at the streaming service for hosting a children's show with a transgender main character."

I had trouble finding the original comment by Hamish Steele about Charlie Kirk. MSM has moved on as if the story is all about Elon Musk.

Here is the original statement by Steele that started all this (without foul language). To me the story now less about Steele and Musk but rather how the MSM intentionally hides information about their own.

Steele -- ""You sympathy for any of the families being slaughtered by your weapons but a random nazi gets shot and its a public statement."

My gaydar is pegging out.

I admire Musk’s singlemindedness. This is the hill to die on. He will do everything he can to make sure Democrats never win another election.
