For the past few weeks, Elon Musk has been throwing a tantrum — and throwing around legal threats — over Alex Gibney’s “hit piece” documentary about him that’s set to release next month.
Now, as if following his lead, pretty much all of the major social media sites are refusing to run ads for the movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The platforms — YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook — are unwilling to accept paid advertising for the film. And of course so is X, the site owned by Musk himself.
The stonewalling has reportedly taken distributor Bleecker Street by surprise, with the company scrambling to figure out why its ads have been so widely rejected.
