^^ Musk does not appreciate parody.

Musk Bans ‘Impersonation’ After Parody Elons Flood Twitter

Quote:
After vowing to make Twitter a bastion of “free speech,” Elon Musk announced a new policy on Sunday that will remove accounts engaging in the type of “impersonation” that comedians and others have used to humorously protest his takeover of the social network in recent days.

Celebrities such as Kathy Griffin, Sarah Silverman, and Mad Men star Rich Sommer quickly had their accounts removed for changing their usernames and photos to match Musk’s.
Musk may want to offend comedians because that's playing into their hands helping them develop new material. And it does not look like any of the established personalities are going to pay the $8 either. Why would they if they are providing both content and traffic?
