It was annoying, anyone, especially verified could change picture and name to someone else and write some bullshit. Most of people wouldn't notice the handle, only the name and picture, and that's how fake news might spread. Lately there were a lot of verified profiles that changed their profile pic and name to Elon Musk and were trolling.

This has always been the case and it has always been fine.

Surely context would show that these are parodies, not impersonations.

Are these people trying to impersonate Elon Musk, or are they parodying Elon Musk on their clearly-marked "not elon musk" (due to the handle) accounts?

I'm inclined towards the latter.
