YouTube says it has cleared an advertisement for Musk, Alex Gibney's forthcoming documentary about Tesla CEO Elon Musk, after temporarily restricting it. The decision comes ahead of the film's planned 16 October theatrical release in the United States, while journalist Molly Jong-Fast claims the two hours she has seen explain why Musk 'doesn't want you to see it'.
For context, The Hollywood Reporter reported that YouTube, TikTok and Meta had declined advertisements promoting the film. YouTube later said a submitted ad had been 'temporarily restricted' but was now 'cleared to run'. The supplied material does not explain why the restriction was imposed or establish that the other companies have changed their positions.
