"Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying “parody” will be permanently suspended" – Elon on 11/6/2022
I don't think he has a good grasp on the concept of comedy and satire.

He doesn't even seem to have a good grasp of communication these rules to Twitters moderation team

Most SNL skits are comedians pretending to be real people. There’s no need for SNL to declare that “the following skit is a parody”, it’s obvious.
On Twitter, it’s certainly less obvious, but the absurdity of the parody should give it away without having to state “parody ->”, which punctures the whole setup.
Plus, there’s all kinds of other comedic speech that’s not parody that can have similar misleading connotations for comedic effect. If those have to be clearly labeled “jokes”, then you’ve neutered comedy.
