This is what happens when you give Tech bros ownership of everybody’s social life.

The title is the same as the article, but it is dogshit. To save yall the confusion: social media and content hosting sites are refusing to allow a film maker to buy ads about a documentary/exposé about Elon Musk.

I found "Musk" not being in quotes or otherwise separately delineated as referring to the movie confusing, myself.

It gives me no context to what 'Musk' refers to, since I was unaware of this documentary thing.

It uses the word Musk as if it belongs to the Alex, so the assumption is that it is a thing, like a perfume. The first letter of every word is capitalized, so you can't see that it is a proper noun either.
