Elon Musk has reached his limit with Hollywood leftist Kathy Griffin and restricted her Twitter account before warning her she may be permanently suspended.
Griffin edited her “blue check” Twitter account to impersonate Elon Musk by using his name and profile image.
With her verified account appearing to most users as that of Musk’s, Griffin started post tweets that encouraged Americans to vote for Democrats in the midterm elections.
Griffin violated Twitter’s terms of service by impersonating another account without warning users that it was a parody.
While posing as Musk, Griffin posted several election meddling tweets, including:
“After much spirited discussion with the females in my life, I’ve decided that voting blue for their choice is only right. (They’re also sexy females, btw.) #VoteBlueToProtectWomen”
“I must admit, when the Republicans come for our birth control, I’m going to have more kids than even I can handle! So for my daughters and girlfriends. #VoteBlueToProtectWomen”
“This Beto guys is pretty cool, after all. Greg Abbott does not want to legalize cannabis. Beto likes weed! #voteblue”
“Hey complainers and activists. Want to see real activism? Watch this. RT w #VoteBlue”
Kathy Griffin was making a ton of fake posts while impersonating Elon Musk. Impersonation remains a violation of the TOS. She f’d around and found out. pic.twitter.com/EOfemitKbP

Her account was restricted with a label that says:
“Caution: This account is temporarily restricted.
“You’re seeing this warning because there has been some unusual activity from this account.
“Do you still want to view it?”
Elon Musk added later:
“Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying ‘parody’ will be permanently suspended.”
