Elon Musk has said through a series of tweets has threatened that if any Twitter user found engaged in 'impersonation' without clearly specifying "parody" will be suspended permanently.

"Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying "parody" will be permanently suspended," Musk tweeted.

Twitter's new CEO further said that unlike before, no warning will be given now as widespread verification is being rolled out.

"Previously, we issued a warning before the suspension, but now that we are rolling out widespread verification, there will be no warning. This will be clearly identified as a condition for signing up to Twitter Blue," he tweeted.
