Meta and YouTube say they will run ads for ‘Musk’ documentary after all

Meta and YouTube now say they will accept ads promoting Alex Gibney’s forthcoming documentary about Elon Musk. The shift follows earlier reports that several social media platforms had rejected the film’s advertising.

The reversal suggests major platforms may be sensitive to scrutiny over perceived favoritism or caution around high-profile tech figures. It also highlights how platform ad policies can become part of the publicity cycle for politically or culturally charged documentaries.
