Billionaire Elon Musk has cancelled his Netflix subscription after Hamish Steele, the creator of the animated series Dead End: Paranormal Park, allegedly mocked last month’s killing of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.
Steele’s work in the Netflix series was already under scrutiny for including transgender themes in a children’s show. The criticism grew exponentially after multiple screenshots of a post purportedly showing the creator using profanities and calling Charlie Kirk a “Nazi” went viral.
The screenshot was of a reply to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s statement on the killing of the conservative commentator.
“Your sympathy for any of the families being slaughtered by your own weapons but a random Nazi gets shot and it’s a public statement,” Steele said, according to viral screenshots.
Elon Musk revealed that he had cancelled his Netflix subscription after an X user claimed the same.
“Just cancelled my Netflix subscription. If you employ someone who celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk and makes content that pushes pro-trans content on my kids… you will NEVER get a dime of my money. It’s as simple as that,” the user wrote, attaching the screenshot of the cancellation.
Musk reshared the post, writing, “Same.”
