Several accounts that had changed their name to Elon Musk and mocked the billionaire have been suspended or placed behind a warning sign, including those of US comedian Kathy Griffin and former NFL player Chris Kluwe.
Mr Musk has previously said he opposed permanent bans on Twitter, including that of Mr Trump's official account. Mr Musk said last week that banned accounts would not be reinstated until there was "a clear process for doing so". On Friday, the billionaire said Twitter was losing more than $4m per day, insisting that this gave him "no choice" over culling around half the company's 7,500-strong workforce.
That's the whole cabinet office fucked then!
And so they should!
TheTweetOfGod, DarthPutinKGB are you still with us?
As they have since forever? How is this new?
I feel that a lot of right wing politicians are going to have a tough time staying on… they are frequently found to caricatures of themselves.
Good about time, sick of them
This is a really good step by Elon Musk as I am really sick of fake people making multiple accounts of well known people on twitter and spreading hatred by using their identity. I am willing to provide information of people using fake identity to Elon Musk as a volunteer.
Still got my blue tick. Parodies are foc.
Remember free speech got Brexit
Going forward . . . Is forward going.
Comedy is banned again
Free-speech absolutism at its finest.
That’s the BBC gone
parodyaccount Twitter ElonMusk
That's BBC News gone then.
That’s it, that seals the deal. I’m no longer a Twitter user. I’ve been a user since 2010 and have never been more disgusted. I officially will be deactivating my account. I’m going to Tribel Social where they know how to run a platform.
Good. That TOS policy has not changed only the will to actually enforce it.
Bloke who says freedom of speech is key can’t understand a joke! Says everything.
I thought the dude was for free speech..
This is nothing new and not something that Elon Musk put in place. He is just upholding the rules that were already in place. Just goes to show you that no one actually reads them. These were the rules in 2014
Elon IS the parody
I guess that's the end of your account then.
'freedom of speech, unless you're making fun of me you meanie heads!'
Good.
they always have
elonmusk is such a snowflake. MuskStinks
Oh no what will the BBC Tech do now
Valerie Bertinelli impersonated Elon Musk for a whole day & nothing happened Kathy Griffin posted 1 tweet & she’s been permanently suspended What’s the difference? Trump & MAGAts viciously hate Kathy Elon is throwing red meat to right wing nut jobs & signaling he’s with them
Seems sensible.
Free speech?
nypost elonmusk Good idea Twitter need to purge Extremist people’s accounts to restore civil construction debate wth intimidation & threats !! Quality over Quantity 🙏 Musk
I know someone with about 17 of them, elonmusk…
How to control people after telling them you weren’t going to control them and you have fired most of the staff that you might have used to control people.
But he is a self parody incarnate.
If Number10cat gets banned we will riot.
So we have to categorize our 'free' speech before we speak? Anything for the thin-skinned grifter, looks like.
This has been in Twitter’s terms of service long before Musk took over
Good, although, it was always the rules.
He's so soft 😂😂
chair glad
Including the BBC ? Biggest parody in the UK
elonmusk ❤️
Awww someone on the Internet was mean to him again so he’s gunna take their toys away
When is his being banned?
Thank you.
After he tweeted this too
He says.
Lol
Without a hint of irony.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
'La liberté d'expression est notre priorité'
Great! Because it’s really humiliating getting caught up with all this satire and parody. I mean, come on! What craziness would occur if we allowed wit and humor. Elon might be offended, oh dear.
Yes please!!!
e(L)on musk
Way to go! Great initiative
