Who could resist an invitation like this: Twitter owner Elon Musk says comic Kathy Griffin can return to Twitter – but he misspelled her name as “Kathie”
In a tweet today, Musk wrote, “Kathie Griffin, Jorden Peterson & Babylon Bee have been reinstated.” Lest Griffin feel targeted by the misspelling, right-wing author Peterson actually spells his name Jordan.
Griffin, who was suspended for impersonating Musk in satirical posts, responded to the invitation on Instagram.“Dear Eilon,” Griffin responded on Instagram. “You f**ked up, fool. I’m going downstairs to my basement of heads. You’re up. Xxoo, The Beheader”The Babylon Bee, a conservative satirical website that lost its posting privileges in March after a transphobic tweet about U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine, responded to today’s decision from Musk with: “We’re back.
Peterson, a clinical psychologist and right-wing author, was restricted by Twitter last summer for a crude post deadnaming trans actor Elliot Page. A copy of that post remains on Peterson’s reactivated account that now features a pinned post stating, “I’m back. Thanks @ElonMusk” above a photo of Jack Nicholson’s “here’s Johnny” scene fromMusk mentioned the three reactivated accounts in a tweet today announcing that Twitter’s new “policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.
