Ethan Klein banned on Twitter after mocking Elon Musk over verification fiasco YouTube: H3H3\/PewDiePieH3H3\u2019s Ethan Klein has found himself banned from Twitter after impersonating Elon Musk following Musk\u2019s rule change on parody posts. Since Elon Musk finally completed his $44 billion purchase of Twitter at the end of October, the Tesla boss has been making some radical changes to the social media platform. The biggest of which has come in the form of changes to verified accounts. Previously verified users are set to lose their blue ticks unless they sign up for Twitter Blue for $8 a month. This also means new accounts can buy verification of their own if they also sign up for the premium plan. This has, naturally, caused some issues. Plenty of users have flagged the fact that you could simply buy Twitter Blue and start impersonating somebody else. While Musk claimed that accounts that were labeled parody would be fine, that\u2019s not been the case for Ethan Klein. Ethan Klein suspended from Twitter for Elon Musk parody posts Following Musk\u2019s post about parody accounts being fine, the H3H3 star started impersonating the South African business magnate. The YouTube star made a number of posts about Ghislaine Maxwell and the \u201csacrifices\u201d Musk had made to ensure \u201cfree speech\u201d remained on Twitter by allowing racist and abusive posts. \u201cLet it be known it says PARODY ACCOUNT in the info,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cBefore it dies. Comedy lives forever.\u201d It was funny while it lasted \ud83d\ude02 pic.twitter.com\/FQkqZZkzC3 \u2014 Michelle \u2618\ufe0f\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6 (@xCarRadio13) November 7, 2022 Though, he revealed via the H3 Podcast account that he\u2019d been banned shortly after the impersonation posts. \u201cComedy is dead on Twitter and Elon Musk killed it,\u201d the tweet said, taking a shot at Musk\u2019s tweet about comedy being \u201clegal\u201d now he\u2019d taken ownership of the platform. As of writing, Klein\u2019s account still has the \u201caccount suspended\u201d message on it when you try to visit it. The length of his suspension isn\u2019t entirely clear, though the H3 Podcast account has retweeted claims about him being \u201cpermanently suspended.\u201d So, we\u2019ll have to see if that changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
