Twitter suspends unannounced parody accounts.

Several Twitter accounts that had changed their name to Elon Musk and mocked the billionaire have been banned. The name changes were a reaction to Twitter boss Elon Musk’s announcement where he said that users engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying it as a parody account will be permanently suspended. Twitter previously issued a warning before suspending accounts, but there would now be no warning, he announced in a series of tweets. The company's new owner laid off about half of the company's workforce at the end of last week.
