Musk probably meant the OTT giant, which has been criticized in the recent past for content that was considered exclusive in various ways. For example, last year Netflix was criticized for Dave Chapel’s special program The Closerwhich was considered by many to be transphobic.
And this is not the first time the Tesla boss has compared his awakening to a virus.
Earlier, the technology billionaire said that “vigilance” is “the greatest threat to civilization.” Speaking to the satire site Babylon Bee, Musk said that political correctness is one of the greatest threats to civilization. In particular, he also called for attempts to repeal Dave Chapel and continued to criticize the “awakened program” and the “abolition of culture”. “
Meanwhile, streaming giant Netflix recorded far from favorable quarterly profits, which led to a sharp decline in its shares. The OTT platform ended the first quarter of 2022 with 221.6 million subscribers, which was slightly less than the last quarter of 2021. “We are not growing revenue as fast as we would like,” the platform said in a letter of revenue. .
