You got banned for impersonation, not speech.

> for impersonation

Of a cologne brand of some kind? "Elon's Musk" is very clearly not a person.

  • "Joe's Rogan" is also not a person, but plenty of bots and scammers on social media use such celebrity names to obfuscate their accounts and scam people with crypto/erection pills, etc. You have to ban all of them to eliminate scammers as much as possible.

    • > use such celebrity names to obfuscate their accounts

      I thought free speech and sunlight were the best disinfectants. By leaving these accounts up and allowing other users to point out how they were misleading, everyone will learn and be wiser.

Nobody would confuse "Elon's Musk" with Elon Musk.

  • You're clueless of the real world if you think nobody falls for that. There wouldn't be any scammers if that would be the case.

    • who needs scammers when you have the real Elon selling full self driving.
