Comedian Kathy Griffin's Twitter account was suspended on Sunday, the same day she changed her page's title to 'Elon Musk' and mocked the new CEO.
It wasn't clear whether the suspension was a direct result of her ribbing the billionaire, but Musk warned that impersonator accounts without a "parody" label would be banned.
It wasn't clear whether the suspension was permanent or a direct result of her mockery. It came as Musk announced that accounts that impersonate celebrities and other notables would be prohibited unless they're labeled"parody."Musk would appear to be the main beneficiary of his policy, which might seem to contradict his claim to be a"free speech absolutist." Examples of suspensions for impersonating other people without the"parody" label were few.
Griffin used her"Elon Musk" account Sunday to urge Americans to vote for Democrats in the midterm elections Tuesday to preserve abortion rights.Griffin's spokespeople and Twitter public relations representatives didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. Musk's plan to charge $8 a month for verified accounts for just about anyone, VIPs to the average person, riled up many of his celebrity users who enjoyed the status connected to having the site's iconic blue check mark on their pages.
