Several celebrities were suspended by Twitter on Sunday and Monday after they impersonated new owner Elon Musk, who simultaneously issued a warning that impersonations of other users is prohibited unless they clearly state it’s a parody.

Kathy Griffin, who achieved notoriety after posting a photo of herself holding the severed head of former President Donald Trump, was suspended from the platform on Sunday evening after she changed her name and photo to “Elon Musk.” Ethan Klein, a left-wing podcaster and YouTube star who hosted h3h3 Productions, was reportedly suspended after doing the same.
