Elon Musk issued a new rule via tweet. He said, going forward, any Twitter handles and engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying parody will be permanently suspended. Sarah Silverman, Kathy Griffin and cartoonists, Jeff chalk all had their Twitter accounts locked or suspended after changing their names to Elon Musk.
Kara and Scott question Elon Musk's sense of humor after he bans comedian Kathy Griffin (and others who spoofed his account) over the weekend. They also talk about the layoff trend in the tech industry, as Meta reportedly prepares for a massive reduction in its workforce this week. Friend of Pivot Matt Stoller stops by with reasons to be optimistic about the fight against corporate monopolies.
