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 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.
