TikTok has restored the account for *Musk*, a documentary about Elon Musk, after the platform said its permanent suspension on Friday was a mistake. A TikTok spokesperson confirmed the reversal to The Verge on Sunday, Nieuws.nl reports. [1]
The account was suspended as the film opened in US cinemas over the weekend. Distributor Bleecker Street had criticised its disappearance, according to Nieuws.nl. [1]
Directed by Alex Gibney, *Musk* examines the tech billionaire’s life and business activities. The film’s makers had also faced difficulties promoting its trailer: several social media platforms refused to run it as an advert last month over alleged political content. Meta later reversed its decision, also calling it a mistake. [1]
