Rich Sommer is another celebrity who was banned from Twitter after violating its impersonation policy. Sommer, like Kathy Griffin and Ethan Klein, posed as majority shareholder Elon Musk, and per Insider, posted multiple tweets to his account.
“Okay, time to employ plan b since they’re MAKING me keep twitter,” one tweet read. Another one said, “Does anyone know any advertisers who are, like, kind of ‘into’ racism NOT ACTUAL RACISTS!! just ad ppl who are, y’know, curious about what it’s all about (racism).”
Sommer, who’s best known for his work on “Mad Men” and “The Devil Wears Prada,” told the outlet that while he figured he would get dinged for it, he was trying to illustrate the potential issues with Musk’s new blue check mark rules and requirements. Regarding his ban, he said, “I had absolutely, let me be very clear, no intention of anyone truly believing that I was Elon Musk. I wanted to, I guess go down in flames. I knew I was headed for the exit door probably. But I also, just while I had that blue check, wanted to show that anyone could say they were anyone.”
