Meta says it will run ads for ‘Musk’ documentary after all
At least one social media company seems to be reversing its stance on whether it will accept advertising for Alex Gibney’s upcoming documentary about Elon Musk.
Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and X had all initially refused to run paid ads promoting the trailer for Alex Gibney's upcoming documentary about Elon Musk. However, when TechCrunch reached out to Meta on Saturday, a spokesperson stated the ads were being restored, saying "This was an error." X's rejection is unsurprising given its owner Elon Musk's recent comments, while Meta, TikTok, and YouTube reportedly rejected the ad due to it being classified as political content.
The film, "Musk," directed by Gibney, has received widespread critical acclaim and is set for a United States theatrical release on October 9. Gibney is known for other acclaimed documentaries like "Going Clear" and "The Inventor."
