Yes it is true.
The rules[0] state:
> What is required under this policy?
> To avoid confusing others about an account’s affiliation, parody, commentary, and fan accounts must distinguish themselves in BOTH their account name and bio
In the screenshots[1], you can see that he said the account is a parody in the bio, but not the name. Only specifying it in the bio means that you would look like a real account when tweet replying.
My point is that failure isn't a more real concern than it was previously, except for, largely, people who already hate Elon, or, perhaps in your case, for people who are misinformed about policy rules and violations.

- slg 4y agoFair enough, but I have never seen that rule enforced before. Plenty of parody accounts don't list that they are a parody in their display name. There are several specifically dedicated to Elon Musk that are just "[adjective] Elon Musk" like "Bored Elon Musk" and "Italian Elon Musk" that have existed on the site for years. That page also lists permanent suspension as the third punishment that comes after warnings and a temporary suspension. This round of punishments seemed to mostly go straight to permanent suspensions, but that wasn't consistent. Kathy Griffin and Griffin Newman have received permanent suspensions, but Sarah Silverman didn't. Is there a reason for that? Who knows? Part of the problem with Musk's management is that it is impossible to know what the current rules are at any given moment. Is that page actually Twitter's current policy or not? Who knows?
