Kathy Griffin’s Twitter Account Permanently Suspended

Kathy Griffin’s Twitter account appeared to be ‘permanently suspended’ on Sunday after impersonating Elon Musk.

Elon Musk warned users will be permanently suspended if they engage in impersonation and don’t clearly specify “parody.”

“Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying ‘parody’ will be permanently suspended,” Musk tweeted.

“Previously, we issued a warning before suspension, but now that we are rolling out widespread verification, there will be no warning,” Musk added.

“This will be clearly identified as a condition for signing up to Twitter Blue.”

“Any name change at all will cause temporary loss of verified checkmark,” Musk clarified.

Kathy Griffin impersonated Elon Musk and her account got suspended.

Fox Business reported:

Kathy Griffin was the latest casualty in Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover as the comedian’s account was suspended Sunday.

Griffin, 62, changed her profile name to Musk, and appeared to be promptly banned from the social media site.

Despite her handle showing her own @kathygriffin name, the moniker by her blue checkmark said “Elon Musk” — which goes against the company policy against impersonation.

The SpaceX founder indicated he was taking his “Chief Tweet” role seriously as he addressed fake accounts just weeks after officially acquiring Twitter for $44 billion following months of legal wrangling.
