^^ 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?

This one has a hidden message perhaps.



Zuck is starting his layoffs later this week. Zuck got into making products which isn't going well. Musk was making products and then got into social media and that isn't going well.

Zuck buys Twitter and Elon buys Metaverse.

Musk has as much credibility as Trump and hope this starts Twitter evacuation plan in earnest.

I've always been a fan of divided government, but dividing it with fascists wasn't what I had in mind.

Howard 'Muskmelon' Hughes will soon be selling his toenail clippings to the MAGA faithful.

I have been also but then we were united by a common cause, but not anymore. Imo, this began with Citizens ruling and PAC's started funding our elections.

Future faces of fascism can be found at a Liv tournament near you, sponsored by MBS with adult beverages and hookers catered by Trump.

This is said to be posted by Elon himself; caption read "How times have changed".
