Netflix called 'Woke Trash', Elon Musk replies

Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently replied to an X post calling out Netflix for its woke content. An X user recently named Gunther Eagleman @GuntherEagleman wrote on X: “Netflix is woke trash.” The post caught Musk’s attention who responded to it in agreement, saying “True”. Elon Musk’s reply to Gunther Eagleman’s post reflects his critique of Netflix. Earlier this month, the tech CEO slammed the streaming platform for its latest web series Adolescence, alleging an “anti-white propaganda”.

As mentioned above, this is notably not the first time when the tech billionaire has criticised Netflix for its content. In the year 2022, Musk said that “The woke mind virus is making Netflix unwatchable." He was responding to a post by Slashdot, referring to a subscriber loss of the streaming platform then.


Musk, in reply to a user then, also said that he hopes the streaming giant would make more science fiction movies. “Can they please just make sci-fi/fantasy at least *mostly* about sci-fi/fantasy?” he tweeted.

Musk has been a critique of wokeness calling it “divisive, exclusionary and hateful” in the past. He told The Babylon Bee that “woke mind virus” is “a world without humor”, stating that wokeness is the greatest threat to modern civilisation. “At its heart, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary and hateful. It basically gives mean people a shield to be cruel, armored in false virtue," Musk said.
In an interview last year, Musk said that the woke mind virus killed his son, referring to his son Xavier, now known as Vivian Jenna Wilson. He then shared his concern about using puberty blockers in children and said he felt he was “tricked” into agreeing to his son’s sex change.
For those wondering, Wokeism refers to a set of beliefs or attitudes that emphasize being socially aware, especially about issues like racism, gender identity, inequality, and injustice. The term comes from the word “woke,” which originally meant being alert to social problems, especially those affecting marginalized groups. Over time:
