Just ahead of the wider release of Alex Gibney’s Musk documentary, TikTok has banned the film’s social media account from its platform. TikTok did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
While TikTok has no official affiliation with Elon Musk, part owner Larry Ellison appears in the film via a text message offering to help Musk fund his Twitter purchase.
Last month, YouTube, Meta, X, and TikTok all faced backlash for rejecting ads for the film. YouTube and Google quickly reversed course, calling it an “error.” However, TikTok and X have refused to change their stance, and neither platform has allowed paid advertisements for the film.

I didn’t really have much interest in seeing this documentary before, but now that the powers that be are taking actions to suppress it, my interest in seeing it has grown substantially.
Haven’t been in a movie theater for years. If this film is shown in town I definitely will. If streamed, will host a viewing party.
Billionaires buy media platforms so they can edit content to be in their favour.
Gotta defend the richest man in the world from investigative reporting. That seems right.
They should open accounts in the fediverse.
Where can I watch this documentary? I am in Germany.
People still use TikTok? I thought it was supposed to be banned…. I have that shit entirely blocked on all my devices.
When you cover Israeli war crimes. Its not much of a leap to censor criticism of your Epstein friends.

Billionaire accused of coordinating with other billionaires to manipulate public opinion, coordinates with other billionaires to manipulate public opinion.
Wow. It must be good.
I heard that if you’re reasonably informed on Elon’s bullshit spanning the last few years, DOGE, how he’s clearly a Nazi, etc., then there’s nothing particularly revelatory in the doc. I’ll probably skim through it at some point, but it’s nearly 4 fucking hours long and god knows I’ve watched enough Some More News on YouTube through the years to have a pretty detailed mental account of all the ratfucking he’s been up to.
barb said it was great. she watched dvd screener at her house on the california coastline. you know the one?
Fascists gonna fascist.
tfw the Streisand effect has become how I remember to watch stuff
