Bleecker Street says it has not been able to promote the nationwide expansion of Alex Gibney's four-hour doc on the billionaire Tesla owner The post ‘Musk’ Documentary’s TikTok Account ‘Permanently Suspended’ as Film Hits Theaters appeared first on TheWrap .
Bleecker Street, the independent distributor behind the documentary "Musk" about Elon Musk, has seen its TikTok account permanently suspended as the film prepares for a nationwide release. The suspension was announced by TikTok on Friday afternoon, following a four-hour film directed by Alex Gibney that chronicles Musk's life and political influence.
Major platforms such as X, YouTube, and Meta previously declined to support the documentary, but TikTok justified the removal by citing violations of its political content rules, though the specific rules have not been disclosed. Despite being owned by billionaire Larry Ellison, TikTok remains connected to Musk through Oracle's involvement.
The documentary, running 235 minutes with an intermission, explores Musk's personal life, his tenure in the Trump administration, and his rising influence. With only about $70,000 earned during an initial limited release in New York and Los Angeles, the film is projected to gross around $297,000 in its expanded nationwide release across 472 theaters, averaging $629 per theater.
