TikTok bans account promoting Alex Gibney's Elon Musk documentary

Original: TikTok bans Musk documentary account

TikTok has shut down the promotional account for Alex Gibney's documentary about Elon Musk. The Verge reports the account was banned by TikTok, which is majority-owned by a consortium including Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison. Critics immediately flagged the apparent conflict of interest, questioning whether the platform's new ownership is restricting coverage of Musk, and the decision has drawn accusations of censorship.

Why now: The ban raises concerns about censorship and conflicts of interest under TikTok's new ownership, given Larry Ellison's ties to Musk.
