A series of accounts were locked because they changed their name to 'Elon Musk' 3

The most famous account that has just been put on the lock list is h3h3Production – a famous podcast channel with 2.3 million followers on Twitter.

On social networks, this type of account is called a `parody account` – an account that imitates a famous person for entertainment purposes.

The same outcome happened to a series of other accounts using the name Elon Musk.

Actress Kathy Griffin’s green account was locked after changing her name to `Elon Musk`.

This is considered a humorous way to attract attention and at the same time challenge the Tesla boss’s previous statement on freedom of speech.

According to CNBC, banning `parody accounts` raises questions about the commitment to freedom of speech that the American billionaire once declared because this does not violate the social network’s current principles.

`Musk announced he would not make any changes related to content moderation, but it seems they have happened,` Vice assessed.

In response to the accusations, Musk emphasized the case of Jack Sweeney – the student behind the account that updates his flight itinerary.

However, he also affirmed that the platform’s mission is `to become the most accurate source of information about the world`.
