Platforms reject paid ads for Alex Gibney’s 'Musk' documentary
Facebook really doesn't want you to see the new documentary exposing Elon Musk Neither do TikTok or Google or the eX social media site. Since they won't accept paid advertising, let's do some free advertising. Go see Musk in theaters October 9 www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...
Tappin Lisa21As of this post, it has 100% on Rotten Tomatoes: www.rottentomatoes.com/m/musk
Blue Meme15Imagine how bad this problem would be if right wing oligarchs had taken control of our media.

krmtpttn.bsky.social3So... make sure you don't vote for any of the candidates Musk funds and make sure to see this movie. Got it.
SVR ❌👑🤡3The trailer is on YouTube though: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFTf...
Nick Feik87Class solidarity by tech freaks
S Peter Davis57Streisand the fuck out of this thing
Stephen Kinsella17I predict that Musk’s attempt to suppress this film will be every bit as successful as Meta’s attack on Sarah Wynn-Williams’ book. And the many awards judges around the world who care about culture have an opportunity to play their part. Let’s give Big Tech all the recognition it deserves
Rod Hilton3Real talk? Even I won’t be going to sit through the 4-hour Musk documentary and there’s a nonzero chance my tweet about him is in it somewhere
asura2I don't think I could tolerate having to watch this in a theater. Dunno why it's not just streaming already :\
Filmmaker Alex Gibney has shared the first trailer for 'Musk,' a two-part, four-hour deep dive into Elon Musk that Rolling Stone called “a nonfiction horror movie” following its film festival debut earlier this month. Watch ↓
Roberta11Will be triggering, and I will still go watch it.
YellowPup11I’ve never had a colonoscopy that lasted for four hours.
The MCP9I think he's in the business of creating nightmares.
bigtimmylittle.bsky.social9I have little to no interest in Musk. However, I am fascinated by the need of the masses to adore someone, anyone, including Trump and Musk. It's a pathology we must outgrow if we are to move forward as a species.
Go Ask Alice7I can’t watch it, I’m already enraged
Just one opinion 🌹7Nah, I've had too much of him already.
Alex Gibney2426The trailer for my new film, "Musk," has just been released.
Jesse Hawken39Will there be a two hour version so I don’t have to hand over 4 hours of my precious life to look at this freak
Gavin Blair9Spread the news far and wide. Because musk and his verminous friends don't want you to.
Orlando B ✍️ COMMS OPEN9Between this, "You Can See Everything" and "The Social Reckoning" it's funny to see that after years of Hollywood staying clear of Big Tech, they're (probably by accident) releasing a trio of movies in a short span that, between them, might cover all the angles of what's wrong with that industry
Anne Lutz Fernandez8Just booked two tix to see in NYC with Q&A after w Gibney and Ashley St. Clair.
paws101 [Paul 🇦🇺 🦘For Ukraine 🇺🇦]3"the wealthiest, and most unchecked, man on the planet," Sums it up nicely! [ Rocket Child 🚀]
scenarist / Chris2I suspect this is further evidence for what we all know. The planet’s richest man is morally, personally and intellectually worthless.
While Musk has attacked the film as both a “hit piece” and a “psy op,” it’s been critically well-received thus far.
Brett11This is needed, while the world's mainstream media treat everything he says as newsworthy, while ignoring his daily online Nazi rants and civil war incitements.
expertsanta.bsky.social11Can't wait for this to come out on October 9th.
desertdane.bsky.social8He broke the US government with his BS doge.
Ian7The more he attacks it, the truer it is.
Gen X5Ugh. Now I HAVE to watch it.😂
expertsanta.bsky.social4This is a good primer for people who don't know much about the Dogemaster before seeing the film. youtu.be/PVOZfAJwntk
Bob5To be fair, Nazis and their enablers often feel attacked when you quote them verbatim. Look at what happened after Charlie Kirk got got.
Maj3Bringing back memories of when Trump tried to do this & the end result was people asking why Sebastian Stan doesn't do more serious flicks...
That tree guy 𓅃3Had no clue this was directed by @alexgibneyfilm.bsky.social It’s gonna be so good
Jane A.2It's tricky: on the one hand, if it makes him angry and sad for people to see it, then I want to see it. But on the other hand, I really don't want to know any more about this prick than I already know.
jaKa Močnik2brain eating amoeba not happy about a documentary on brain eating amoebae. 🤷
💥Ok I see other platforms are blocking this. I met Alex Gibney moons ago at ABCNY (the Association of the Bar for the City of New York). He’s the real deal. Here’s the trailer for Alex Gibney’s documentary about Musk. Let’s Streisand Effect this: www.firstshowing.net/2026/must-se... 👋🎥
Alex Billington16I hope people go watch the film! And I hope they see this man for who he really is - absolutely not a visionary, instead he's everything wrong with the world today.

litzz114Can't wait for this one!
Ennui Malaise 🇺🇦 🇮🇪3oddly, Bush never tried to block ads for Enron: Smartest Guys in the Room (Bush was a "close" associate of Ken Lay) & ads were everywhere. I don't recall any attempted suppression when he released Casino Jack (both excellent) which eviscerated lobbyists & the wretched, fd up things done in DC.
T2for someone with crippling anxiety having lunatics in charge has ruined my life
ToeKnee amouronana 🌈152worth a watch of someone who spent $44 billion to buy a social media platform $44 billion folks it’s chump change to him
DE Riley3Platforms won't let Gibney buy ads for "Musk." So lets give him lots of free advertising.
Hurricane Girl2Did you know RAD or Reactive attachment disorder is caused by severe neglect and abuse of a child. It mimics Autism, so much so that Psychologists will call it autism. Who would want to tell their rich client their kid is fucked up by negligence from a narcissist parent. I heard it from the Doc.
Party Like It’s 19392Oh I need to watch this film. I might be more hype for this than Avengers 😂
This serves as advertisement for Alex Gibney’s documentary, Musk, opening October 9. Pass it on.
David M6You can buy tickets here: bleeckerstreetmedia.com/musk if there is a showing near you.
@Fauxpilgrim2I've read (via Hollywood Reporter) that major social media sites are rejecting _paid_ ads for this. Thanks for the PSA version
🦕 Sydney1these billionaire tech boys are so weak. embarrassing 😳
Jen Mercieca30It must really be good!
Lorna MacGillivray4The more they try to repress this the more I'm inclined to definitely watch it:

ACO2Man, he does not want this to get out. Jokes on him, this MAKES people want to see it.
Laschko2Diese Leute bestimmen was wir sehen.
I don't know if the movie is good, but if all the billionaires are colluding to make sure nobody watches it, I'll signal boost this for now. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...
Ruugard6They are all worried the next doc will be about them
Salmon Toro&Tenmi🍉3How TF can a movie make Elon look worse? Gamers spammed that he’s a Pedophile who will die with no friends during a livestream. He is a N*zi responsible for Ebola spreading all over the Congo…
CaptDedEyes (Commissions SOON™)3Hooo boy, if this is supposed to be a documentary that examines this shrunken corn cob & exposes him as a force of pure evil, then it'd be no wonder if the billionaires are colluding against this film!
Rob Cave2Going to see this at a film fest today.
minutesdrag.bsky.social1The Epstein class is a tightly knit group that desperately needs unraveling.
#FreeSpeech News Hollywood Reporter reporting that YouTube, TikTok and Meta platforms are refusing to take even paid ads for Alex Gibney's documentary which takes a, let's say, sceptical and questioning view of Elon Musk's career, personality and alleged achievements. "Musk" opens on 9 October.
VictoriousYankee10I don’t need to watch the documentary. I’ve hated the twitchy South African apartheidist ever since he began baseless attacks against NASA and The Mighty Spade Shuttle. I also can’t stand twitchy’s cult of mediocre white male teenaged InCels.
🖕🏽DJT🖕🏽GOP🖕🏽SCOTUS🖕🏽NRA🖕🏽MUSK🏳️🌈8I don't know; maybe it's me, but why in the hell would I pay money to watch this when we are living through the damage he has done and is more than likely planning on doing w/the elections in November? I don't care to understand evil.
T3I've seen anti-abortion ads, Kristi Noem deportation ads, Tel Aviv vacation ads...
Toxteth O'Grady2The more people find out about this attempted suppression, the more people will want to see it…
K. Moore 🦋📚🎼1This is a prime example of what it looks like when oligarchs that own all the social media apps (not BlueSky) band together to protect one of their own. This is what we can expect when the Ellisons own Paramount and WB, just like the rise of Indie journalism so it will be in the movie business.
Brandy1This is gonna do nothing but make people wanna see it more billionaires are gonna billionaire I guess
A.G. Pasquella49As George Carlin said, "It's a big club, and you ain't in it."

Gregory Norminton5Class solidarity, but for oligarchs.
Multiverse Wanderer3The 'Streisand Effect' comes from an incident that pre-dates the rise of social media. Just as social media accelerates mass communication - for good and evil - the billionaires running social media are about to see they accelerate the Streisand Effect too. "Musk" will be the biggest doc of 2026!

Elon Musk is working hard to ban Alex Gibney's Musk documentary from all social media platforms, and of course he gets whatever he wants. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...
Glenn Harris5I'm glad a movie was made that pisses him off, but frankly you couldn't pay me to watch a four-hour (or four-minute) documentary about the Nazi Muskrat. I feel nauseated at the very thought.
Jane Rabbit2that's the only thing that makes me want to watch it.

So YouTube won't platform the Musk documentary trailer but they'll run anti-UN ads?? www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...
newmethos7This is rank hypocrisy, as you would expect. YouTube in particular is awash in horrendous AI produced ads for grifters and straight weirdo shit and what Meta website isn't completely snowed under by AI produced rage bait? Get bent assholes
🇨🇦 sophialarkrose.bsky.social2Their values are so clear now.
"So much for free speech. The studio releasing Alex Gibney’s new Elon Musk documentary Musk is finding itself unable to buy an ad on the biggest social platforms." www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...
Social Media Lab6"YouTube, TikTok and Instagram and Facebook owner Meta are all declining to run the trailer for X, along with X itself, The Hollywood Reporter has learned."
Pilgrim2They fear it or they would not try to stop it. They fear the people. The tyrants always do. They are caught in a fear and control state and cant see out of it. We the People need to care for our friends and neighbors and in that way, we will overcone this.
🇬🇾🗽Sydette The Dreaded Gorgon🗽🇬🇾55Watching white people learn in real time what started with Black people on this man’s platforms But hey It was good riddance when he purchased X and not destabilizing a media ecosystem that we were not prepared to defend
Ross11Doesn't mean we can't advertise the shit out of this documentary on our personal accounts. Make sure you buy tickets for "Musk" early & often for the October 9th weekend! Bring friends, go out for coffee after the show. Let's make this the most lucrative documentary in the history of the USA.
