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.
Great! Hadn’t heard of this.
Thanks Streisand effect!As someone who already knows Elon is a piece of shit, does this document contain any new or interesting information?
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
tfw the Streisand effect has become how I remember to watch stuff
“The Nazi Chronicles or How It Happened All Over Again”, film at Eleven, or not, depending on how we feel.
Billionaire accused of coordinating with other billionaires to manipulate public opinion, coordinates with other billionaires to manipulate public opinion.
Something something freedom of speech limited to those that own the press
Fascists gonna fascist.
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?
TikTok or US TikTok?
I hope Elon Musk gets aids from an elephant.
Isn’t it good that they took down a Pro-Musk film? Or is this a documentary that actually tells the truth about him?
Based on a quick search, seems pretty anti-Musk
Looking at the facts surrounding his life. A positive biography is impossible. About the most positive thing he’s done with his life. Had been conceiving children who hate him. And at some point in his life he will die, but too late to curb the damage he’s doing. That’s barely more than a sentence.
He already has several positive biographies about him out.
Those are highly fictitious then. He’s not really a founder of any company he owns. He’s not even particularly intelligent. He’s a narcicistic liar just like trump. Who has to lie about even the most meaningless things. His skill in business and relationships, is money. He’s always been and still is, a wealthy illegal immigrant princeling. Wandering around Manhattan, with emeralds he stole from his father. That were mined by slaves.
Waiting for GrokTok, anyone?
I’d use it about as much as I use Grokipedia and Grok. and his ‘scan your credit card in’ bot thing.
Which is not at all.
