Kathy Griffin earned herself a Twitter suspension on Sunday when she impersonated Elon Musk as a stunt for Democrats.
Though Elon Musk did not address the Griffin situation directly, he issued a clarification that Twitter will immediately suspend impersonating accounts that do not specifically label themselves parody.
“Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying “parody” will be permanently suspended,” he tweeted. “Previously, we issued a warning before suspension, but now that we are rolling out widespread verification, there will be no warning.”Previously, we issued a warning before suspension, but now that we are rolling out widespread verification, there will be no warning.
“If you don’t want a Civil War, vote for Democrats in November. If you do want Civil War, vote Republican,” sheIn a later tweet, Griffin responded to Breitbart News reporter Kristina Wong and denied that she was threatening violence. “You guys. The maga blue checks are at it again. Because they are constantly threatening Civil War, they are now trying to suggest that I am the one who is threatening a Civil War. Because you know, that’s my thing,” she added.
In 2020, Griffin also advocated for physical violence against Trump by suggesting that someone use a syringe on him “with the air inside” — a potentially lethal act.
