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

The 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

  • The user says they were banned within hours of Elon taking over Twitter. New Parody rules did not come into affect until November 2022.

    • I 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
