Did Elon Musk spoke about LGBT and the left agenda, which “make Netflix uncleaned,” and “Greenwater Fricke with a Ban button”?

Recently, a phrase appeared in social networks, which Musk allegedly spoke. According to her, the head of Tesla criticized the “leftist agenda”, because of which it is impossible to watch modern series and films and play video games. We checked the reliability of this quote.

The phrase, allegedly uttered by Ilon, diverged VKontakte at the end of April. We give the most common option: “LGBT and other leftist agendas that affect the minds of people make Netflix impossible for viewing. This problem also applies to the entire cinema, TV series, as well as video games. The whole industry is infected with such garbage trends because of a fear of offending some green-haired freaks with a ban button. ”

For example, in the Netflix community, a post with this quote received More than 333,000 views and almost 10,000 likes. The publication is also posted in groups LF | Lost (more than 105,000 views and 2100 likes), ᴘ ɴ ᴍ ᴍ ɴ ᴀ (more than 30,000 views and 650 likes), "Lostfilm.news | Series News 24/7 " (almost 22,000 views and 300 likes) and Live Games (more than 2500 views and 30 likes). And in public Mads (145,000 views, 2500 likes) and "Your cozy room" (61,000 views, 1800 likes) also added that the mentioned green -haired freak is gay and that over the past month (i.e. April), 300,000 people have already been canceled the Netflix subscription. In the Telegram channel Movie Land Quote Collected Almost 28,000 views.

According to many comments under these records, some users did not believe that this quote belonged to the mask. Someone even wrote that he could not find her on Twitter a billionaire, where he often speaks out on different topics. So did Musk say this?

To begin with, on April 19, data on the Netflix quarterly report appeared in the media. According to CNBCThe streaming service announced a total loss of 200,000 subscribers in the first three months of 2022. This is the first decrease in the number of paid subscriptions in more than a decade - the last time Netflix lost subscribers in October 2011. Moreover, according to the company's forecast, in the second (current) quarter Expected The total outflow of another 2 million paid subscriptions. As a result, the audience with paid accounts will be reduced from 221.64 million to 219.64 million people.

“The growth of our revenue has slowed down significantly,” wrote The company is in a letter to its shareholders. - Streaming exceeds linear broadcasting, which corresponds to our forecasts, and Netflix projects are very popular all over the world. However, our relatively wide distribution among households, given the large number of households with common accounts, in combination with competition, creates obstacles for the growth of income. ”

Previously Netflix Reported The shareholders that in the first quarter of 2022, the total increase in paid subscriptions will be 2.5 million. For the same period a year ago, the service added almost 4 million subscribers. The company's report noted that the suspension of the service in Russia affected general losses. As a result, about 700,000 subscriptions were canceled, without this, the pure increase for the quarter would be 500,000 subscriptions.

In addition to the above reasons, including the loss of the Russian segment and the distribution of passwords to the accounts, the company referred to high competition with new streaming services and inflation growth. In addition, in some regions, the cost of subscription has increased. Moreover, Netflix already considers A cheaper subscription option, which includes viewing advertising. The company also added that significant successes could lead to stagnation during the active spread of the Covid-19 in 2020.

After the report was released, the Netflix shares fell a couple of dozen percent, about which wrote Twitter account Slashdot. Elon Musk decided to express his opinion on the situation and from his page Commented This news: "Due to the VOUK-Virus of the brain, Netflix becomes unconditional." The term "vouk" (Woke, translated into Russian - "woke up") denotes Increased attention to the issues of racial, gender and social equality. So “Vouk-Virus” can be translated with a stretch as a “agenda virus”, but it is not completely clear which one had in mind, specifically, LGBT, he did not mention there. However, we note that in March he is in one tweet I joked Immediately about Russians, Ukrainians, Netflix, transgender and dark -skinned.

After that, the user Pranay Pathole wrotethat “VOUK-Virus is the greatest threat of civilization”, and Musk agreed With such a statement.

And the author of the phrase about the green -haired freak is a person under the nickname Niche Gamer. He wrote The following: “This applies not only to Netflix. All cinema, video games, television-all this is infected with new-fangled garbage vouk trends because of fear of offending a green-haired freak with a ban button. There is no more original, with the exception of content from countries such as Japan or Korea, which is ironic. ” The head of Tesla agreed And with these words. And later Added: “Can you, please, just make science fiction / fantasy at least“ mainly ”about science fiction / fantasy?”

So in the whole, a kind of monster Frankenstein walks on the network, not a quote of a mask. The words that he really said distorted, and also attributed phrases that he did not write, but with whom he agreed, and sometimes they were also changed.
