Read our privacy policy Reports that Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe was banned from Twitter under Elon Musk’s new rules appear to be false, The Independent has found. The rumour appeared to have begun with a tweet from ‘Weird’ Al Yankovic, the musical parody artist whom Radcliffe is portraying in a new Hollywood biopic, who said: “Oh no, they suspended @danielradcliffe’s Twitter account! Celebrities including comedians Kathy Griffin and Sarah Silverman, Mad Men actor Rich Sommer, and former NFL commentator Chris Kluwe had their accounts suspended after changing their names to “Elon Musk”, adopting a facsimile of the tycoon’s avatar, and making parody tweets. Mr Musk, who announced after buying the social network last month that “comedy is now legal on Twitter”, said on Sunday that anyone who impersonated another user “without clearly specifying ‘parody’” would be permanently suspended without a warning.
