The social media platform's new owner issued the warning after some celebrities changed their Twitter display names - not their account names - to"Elon Musk" in reaction to the billionaire's decision to offer verified accounts to all users for $8 month.Actor Valerie Bertinelli did the same before switching it back to her real name. But first, she posted a series of tweets in support of Democratic candidates.
Comedian Sarah Silverman also appeared to have her account locked as she shared a screenshot of her Twitter page with the display name"Sarah K Silverman".
