YouTube and Meta reverse course to accept Elon Musk documentary trailer ad
YouTube and Meta have agreed to allow an advertisement for the upcoming Alex Gibney film about Elon Musk after initially rejecting it.
Platforms change their decision
A YouTube spokesperson stated that the system had temporarily restricted the ad before clearing it for publication. A Meta spokesperson confirmed that their earlier rejection was an error and they are restoring the ads now. Bleecker Street, the studio producing the film, had been appealing these initial rulings from both companies.
Other platforms remain silent
TikTok and X have not commented on the situation and continue to refuse the advertisement. The documentary trailer was released Thursday ahead of the movie's scheduled release on October 9. Bleecker Street has not yet been informed of any specific change regarding the ad status as of late Saturday morning.
