Elon Musk Urges Users to Cancel Their Subscriptions

An online controversy erupted, with users threatening to cancel their subscriptions.

This was due to concerns over the animated series Dead End: Paranormal Park, a children’s show rated TV-Y7 featuring a transgender teenage protagonist.

The series, created by Hamish Steele, drew Musk’s ire after posts on X criticised its LGBTQ+ themes as inappropriate for young audiences.

Additionally, Elon Musk highlighted a reported social media post by Steele mocking the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, allegedly calling him a “Nazi” and criticising UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s tribute to Kirk following his death in September 2025.

On September 30, Musk reposted a user’s announcement of canceling their subscription, stating, “Same,” confirming he had also canceled his own.

Later that day, he shared a clip from Dead End: Paranormal Park and wrote, “This is not ok.”
