YouTube and Meta approve Musk trailer ads again

YouTube and Meta have approved advertising for the Elon Musk documentary trailer. Meta had briefly restricted ads, calling it an error, and TikTok and X reportedly previously refused; ads are now running on both YouTube and Meta. The development follows past reports that several platforms had limited or blocked such political-content trailers.
