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.

Billionaires buy media platforms so they can edit content to be in their favour.
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.
Billionaire accused of coordinating with other billionaires to manipulate public opinion, coordinates with other billionaires to manipulate public opinion.
A bit oligarchic don’t you think?
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?
Reminder: For the Streisand-effect to work, you have to share this event on your social media accounts. Otherwise it will be just forgotten like all the times JK Rowling got away with shutting up critics.
Don’t assume someone will just get the Streisand treatment, do something about it!
Great! Hadn’t heard of this.
Thanks Streisand effect!tfw the Streisand effect has become how I remember to watch stuff
Fascists gonna fascist.
Gotta defend the richest man in the world from investigative reporting. That seems right.
Something something freedom of speech limited to those that own the press
AND the billionaires. Which i guess if you did a venn diagram, it is a perfect circle.
When is this available for viewing? I definitely want to watch.
Are you sure? It is 232 minutes long. I don’t need to waste 4 hours of my life to know that a piece of shit is actually a piece of shit
More so imagining it in the background as a funzie while the wife and I drink whiskey and play games.
It opened in theaters on Friday 🙂 I’m going to see it tomorrow
Thanks
People still use TikTok? I thought it was supposed to be banned…. I have that shit entirely blocked on all my devices.
As someone who already knows Elon is a piece of shit, does this document contain any new or interesting information?
No, and it contains an AI avatar of Elon Musk that gets interviewed in his place because they (obviously) couldn’t get the dipshit himself for the doc.
