The site's new owner says accounts failing to specify they are parodies will be permanently suspended.
Several accounts that had changed their name to Elon Musk and mocked the billionaire have been suspended or placed behind a warning sign, including those of US comedian Kathy Griffin and former NFL player Chris Kluwe.
Mr Musk has previously said he opposed permanent bans on Twitter, including that of Mr Trump's official account. Mr Musk said last week that banned accounts would not be reinstated until there was "a clear process for doing so". On Friday, the billionaire said Twitter was losing more than $4m per day, insisting that this gave him "no choice" over culling around half the company's 7,500-strong workforce.
