Elon Musk: ‘Netflix is grooming our children’

A new Netflix show being marketed to children has X owner Elon Musk in an uproar.

Libs of TikTok shared a clip of a new Netflix show for children titled “Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City,” which contains scenes that conservatives say are “promoting transgender drag queens” to the young audience.

Watch:

OMG. Children’s @Netflix show “Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City” is promoting transgender drag queens to CHILDREN.

One clip features a ball gown made to mimic the transgender flag, while another shows the red carpet interview of a “transberry.” It didn’t take long for X users to start speaking out against what they view as the grooming of children. Even Musk got in on the reaction, referring to several shows that have sexualized content for kids:

Why is “TransBerry” in a kids show on Netflix? https://t.co/RUtihUAaWQ

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 3, 2025

Netflix is deliberately choosing to pay people to create sexualized content for children.

Freedom of speech should be respected, but this is PAID speech. Netflix is going out of their way and reaching into their wallet to push this. https://t.co/GBQtKkO0If

Here’s the thing. It’s not just Netflix. That show had to have a writer, producer, director and animators who were complicit with the message. It’s way deeper than just Netflix.

We can and should cancel it, don’t reward these people.

Maybe it should be called sterilization since that’s what the chemicals and or surgery does to the child.

Groomers gonna groom

The question is…what are we gonna do about it?

So is our education system.

Do you notice that the majority of teachers all identify a certain way or follow a certain ideology?

None of this is organic.

It’s always been about the children.

My sister and I grew up with Strawberry Shortcake. I love the way all the dolls smelled like different fruits. I could not hate this more if I was offered money to do so. @Netflix is grooming your children.

This isn’t entertainment, this is trans proselytizing
