“Woke programming is everywhere in children’s ‘educational shows’ and books,” billionaire technological visionary Elon Musk warned Thursday, reacting to a video clip from the popular cartoon for preschoolers, Peppa Pig.
“They are trying to feed woke poison to your children without you knowing it. Who would guess that simple cartoons like Peppa Pig were being used for indoctrination?” @XFreeze wrote on X.com, embedding a video clip from the cartoon, prompting Musk’s comment. In the video clip, Penny Polar Bear, a child, explains that “I live with my mummy and my other mummy.”
“One mummy is a doctor and one mummy cooks spaghetti. I love spaghetti,” Penny continues, nonchalantly.
The Hasbro-acquired British children’s cartoon first introduced the lesbian “mummies” in 2022. As NewsBusters reported at the time, the cartoon was already so influential that it had American preschoolers copying the characters’ British accent.

This isn’t the first time Musk has spoken out against radical-leftist media efforts to groom impressionable young children.
“Cancel Netflix for the health of your kids,” Musk urged last September, reposting a graphic portraying Netflix as a Trojan Horse furtively indoctrinating young children with transgender ideology.
