Elon Musk slammed for spreading misinformation about Netflix’s ‘Adolescence’

Elon Musk has been widely criticised for spreading misinformation about Netflix‘s new hit series, Adolescence.Starring Stephen Graham and Owen Cooper, the show follows a young boy who is arrested for the murder of his classmate, with the show exploring the aftermath of the crime, as well as the psychological and social factors that led to it.Also examined in the four-part series is the rise of misogyny among young boys and how social media has impacted their attitudes towards women, as well as the challenges faced by parents navigating their children’s upbringing in an increasingly online world.After the series aired, Ian Miles Cheong took to X/Twitter to allege the show was “based on real life cases such as the Southport murderer”.

He went on to say they had “race swapped the actual killer from a black man/migrant to a white boy” and altered the story so “he was radicalized online by the red pill movement”, something Cheong called “anti-white propaganda”.Netflix has a show called Adolescence that’s about a British knife killer who stabbed a girl to death on a bus and it’s based on real life cases such as the Southport murderer.So guess what.
