From April 10th, accounts must declare,
"Fake" or "parody" at the start, without a care.
Their names must be clear, no room for doubt,
To avoid confusion, and a big shout.
Different images too, to avoid the test,
Of impersonation, and being the best.
Users complained of fake accounts galore,
Impersonating Elon Musk, and more.
The platform said, "We're here to help and guide,
To reduce confusion, and the impersonation tide."

Of fake accounts contacting us, with their cunning stuff."
One user wrote, "I get a fake Elon call,
Almost once a week, it's really getting old."
Another said, "This is just what we need,
To stop the impersonation, and the fake deed."
Parody accounts, with over a million fans,
Promoted cryptocurrency, and car giveaways, with plans.
