This is clearly not an imitation. Parody if nothing else which is protected by fair use.

- qqqult 2y agoThe imitation rule states that it's perfectly fine to run parody accounts as long as you clearly state that it's a parody. There are a ton of accounts named Elon Musk Parody, Biden Parody and similar Without it every post of a famous person was botted with 100 accounts with identical display name, pfp that tried to promote scams like with YouTube comments
- ColdTakes 2y agoThe user says they were banned within hours of Elon taking over Twitter. New Parody rules did not come into affect until November 2022.
- qqqult 2y agoI replied to your comment about what constitutes imitation and why that rule exists. Neither of us have any idea about the details of that particular ban
- ColdTakes 2y agoI know why the rule exist. Getting banned for a rule that did not exist at the time is an overreach from a self-proclaimed free speech absolutist.
- lern_too_spel 2y agoHere's an account that calls itself Michelle Obama (not even Michelle's Obama) after the parody rule went into effect (unlike Elon's Musk). It doesn't label itself a parody. It's still there. https://x.com/TaxpayerEnrique https://x.com/TaxpayerEnrique
