elon musk banned parody today

No, I'm not making that up, he literally just banned parody accounts unless they're clearly and specifically stated as parody.

He just banned it after a bunch of bluecheck accounts changed their names to Elon Musk and started shitposting.

It's AMAZING.

People are trying to find out if anyone's being banned for imitating anyone other than Elon. So far two: one being the fascist propagandist Andy N*o, who appealed to Elon directly, and someone imitating Keanu Reeves who tweeted that Elon was a bully.

Nobody else.

Basically they're only doing it if you bully Elon.

It's amazing.

That would require a level of self-awareness and an ability to resist butt-kissing that Musk is devoid of. But funny you should mention that: President Obama had an old friend from Chicago whose name I don't recall whom he relied upon as a baloney detector.

Was that David Axelrod? Or someone without a formal position in his campaign/administration?

If I remember correctly it wasn’t someone with a formal position. It was just something I read in passing that made an impression.
