Kathy Griffin suspended from Twitter for mocking Elon Musk

Comedian Kathy Griffin was suspended from Twitter for impersonating Elon Musk.

The suspension comes after Griffin changed her Twitter page title to “Elon Musk” in violation of the site’s new policy prohibiting users from impersonating others without using a “parody” tag.Musk, who took control of the company on Oct. 27, outlined the new policy in a series of tweets.

Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying “parody” will be permanently suspended“Previously, we issued a warning before suspension, but now that we are rolling out widespread verification, there will be no warning. This will be clearly identified as a condition for signing up to Twitter Blue,” Musk continued in a follow-up tweet, referencing the changes to Twitter’s verification system that include an $8 a month for a blue check mark.
