Elon got a taste of his own medicine
After several celebrity and other high-profile Twitter users changed their accounts’ appearance to mimic the social network’s new owner Elon Musk, he called for a swift crackdown. Now, Elon Musk says, Twitter will permanently suspend accounts without warning if they engage in impersonation without a clear, parody label. Previously, Musk argued that no user should face a lifetime suspension, and said that he would reverse the ban and reinstate the account of former President Trump. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/07/elon-musk-unlabeled-twitter-parody-accounts-risk-permanent-suspension.html

Banning public figure impersonating accounts was already part of Twitter policy. Nothing new here.
But nobody should be suspended for lifetime.
Agree. Didn't knew it was a lifetime suspension.
Free speech for me, not for thee.
This was literally always the policy. He's simply enforcing it now against people who were off limits previously. BTW, Kathy is so extreme in her "parody" she was even fired by CNN. Let that sink in!
They had a policy before and Elon wouldn't stop whining about muh freedom of speech. Now he's increasing censorship and charging for priority speech.

He was consider as Tomato sauce when someone bleed but when it comes to him that’s blood
Yet he's tweeting conspiracy theories
He paid $44b to get a 101 social media class 😂
He thinks we're too dumb to tell parody from reality.
You realize when people do this "parody", if the tweet gets trending, you'd get a notification that Elon Musk is recommending X and Y? How's that okay? X and Y are simply liberal propaganda. If Musk had thin skin, he's be suing these people for defamation. Besides, he's a CEO of a public company. He might get in trouble with SEC if he lets people tweet under his name and affect markets.
The point is Elon musk's narrative of allowing free speech on Twitter according to the law was a con. He's charging for priority speech and censoring legal speech even harder than before.

Some speech is more equal than other speech it would seem
Now the fan boys will try to justify this....wait for it.....
"Twitter shouldn't ban people for legal speech" *Immediately bans people for legal speech*
