Elon Musk Says Woke Mind Virus Causes Netflix Unwatchable Over Lost Subscribers
The big news Concerned Netflix, whose disappointing first-quarter earnings report revealed the streaming giant had lost more than 200,000 subscribers. It is the first time it has reported a subscriber loss in the past ten years. Netflix had previously estimated it would earn 2.5 million subscribers in the first quarter. Meanwhile, the moratorium of its service in Russia cost it 700,000 subscribers.
The disappointing earnings report of Netflix sent its share price down 23 percent. One person who seemed to celebrate the news was Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the world’s richest man with a net worth of more than $260 billion.
Musk tweeted that the woke mind virus is making Netflix unwatchable in response to a report about Netflix’s disappointing numbers.
When a user responded to Musk that is the woke mind virus was the biggest threat to Netflix and civilization, Musk had agreed and replied in affirmation.
Another user going by @nichegamer tweeted at Musk, saying, not just Netflix. Movies in general, video games, television, everything infested with the current year’s trend woke up to the rubbish for fear of offending a ‘green-haired monster’ following the ban button. There’s nothing original anymore, except for media coming out of places like Japan or Korea.
Once again, Musk replied: True and added, Can you please do sci-fi/fantasy at least *mostly* about sci-fi/fantasy.
It is interesting that Musk, who recently gobbled up billions of dollars worth of Twitter stock to influence the company before making a $43 billion offer to buy it outright, criticizes Netflix. He given that the streamer partnered with him in a series of flattery documentary projects. It includes Countdown: Inspiration4 Mission to Space, a docuseries chronicling the SpaceX Inspiration4 orbital mission, and Back to Space. An all-access documentary from Oscar-winning filmmakers Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi ( Free Solo ) that leads to onlookers inside Musk’s aerospace company, SpaceX.
Highlighting the woke mind virus, Elon Musk seems to take issue with Netflix’s attempts to offer more diverse content on its platform. In recent years, the streamer has made more effort to highlight LGBTQ+ storytelling with its Most tile, despite recent backlash over Dave Chappelle’s transphobic stand-up special.
