A four-hour documentary about Elon Musk has faced yet another hurdle, with TikTok permanently banning its advertising account.

The BBC reported that the film's distributor, Bleecker Street, received a 'permanent suspension' notice from TikTok due to the ad's political content. TechCrunch has reached out to TikTok for comment. Previously, ads for the film were rejected by Meta and YouTube, but both platforms eventually allowed the ads, with Meta blaming the initial rejection on an 'error.'

Director Alex Gibney recently confirmed that the film's international distributor, Universal, had initially hesitated to release 'Musk,' but it is now proceeding with the release. X, the social media platform owned by Musk, has also refused to carry ads for the film. TikTok's U.S. operations are partly owned by Larry Ellison, a notable supporter of President Trump, who is also the father of David Ellison, who leads HBO, which now plans to stream the film.

The banning of the documentary's advertising has stirred debates about content moderation, political influence, and the growing role of social media in shaping public perception.
