"America's culture wars are once again going after Netflix (NFLX) , but this time it's Elon Musk leading the charge against the streaming service.

The owner of X (formerly Twitter) and CEO of Tesla (TSLA) is teaming up with a growing conservative campaign that tells people to "cancel Netflix" because they think the service promotes progressive values in kids' shows.

Netflix co-founder and Democratic megadonor Reed Hastings has given $2 million to help California redraw its House maps in the latest indication of the campaign’s outsize stakes.

Hastings is a stalwart supporter of Democratic causes and an ally of Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has championed the push to counter Texas’ GOP gerrymander with a new map designed to oust California Republicans. He also spent $3 million to help Newsom beat back a recall attempt in 2021.
