Kathy Griffin

After Kathy Griffin and other people changed their display names to "Elon Musk," the new Twitter chief tweeted that accounts that engage in impersonation ...

She quickly changed back to her true identity and was not suspended. The comedian posted an apology video, but faced consequences: Her comedy tour was canceled, she lost endorsements and she said she was under investigation for conspiracy to assassinate the president. She said Musk tweeted to her mom's account, but there is no evidence of him doing so. Kathy Griffin was suspended from Twitter after using her account to impersonate Elon Musk. It appears anyone will be able to pay for a blue check now, which could lead to confusion and a rise in disinformation. She died in 2020, and her account had not posted any updates since 2019.
