Don't get me wrong, Twitter in general has always been a chernobyl level toxic cesspool of biblical proportions. That's a lot of the internet in general though. This place (the shroomery) has its fair share of toxic, hateful posters as well.
That said, Twitter isn't that bad depending on how you utilize it. If you're there for politics, sports or pop culture (among other things), then yes, it's largely an ocean sized sewer of hate filled depravity. The worst of the worst.
But you can find some good, supportive people on there. Like for instance I follow a few sobriety groups (I've long struggled with alcohol dependence), and amongst that particular group, they're very supportive. Good people with good hearts who will reach out to strangers they've never met in an effort to help them. That's just one example. There are plenty of other niches of the twitter public that you can find on twitter to follow whom don't represent the general twitter we so often hear about that represents the worst of society.
However yes, if one goes looking for hatred & toxicity on there, you obviously don't have to venture very far. You will find it. And a lot of it.

I want my own twotter but I’ve been off social media so long that if I go back now i won’t know all the kewL things to say and people might poke fun at me and then I’ll become the latest meme and I’ll forever be known as a laughing stock then I’ll have to change my name, forsake the world, & go off grid to live with the wild beasts till I grow old and die of something lame like ringworm or razor burn

At least now the guy who loves using his 'Block' button on people who don't say nice things about him is running the place and on a crusade to stop the silencing 
It's so cute when people are still naive enough to have hope

IIRC Tesla lost something like 126 million in market cap in one day recently. From what I was able to find out, part of the 44 mil was borrowed against his Twitter stock.

I think he just broke the rules. I don't work for twitter, nor do I use it, so maybe you should ask them.
What it does prove is how butt hurt you are.

If Twitter favors the "right wing" why has Trump been permanently suspended?
Or are you one of these people that believes Donald will soon be thrown in prison?

The markets have shit the bed since the rich don't want to pay interest. So it could be unrelated. But who knows? Elon doesn't have a lot of liquid cash, or perhaps I should say his worth is not represented by his liquidity. So it isn't a surprise he had to leverage the $44B.
The interesting thing about this, IMO, is that Tesla isn't as steady as many like to think. VW for example is coming for them, they legally have to as a result of their Dieselgate fuck up. VW being the largest manufacturer in the world. Leveraging Tesla for Twitter is a big fuck up if you ask me. Elon should be hoping the deal doesn't get approval. Keep in mind, Tesla has only been profitable for like 2 years of its 19, and a lot of that hinges squarely on clean vehicle tax credits, not actual profitably. Once Tesla gets encroached on it will get sold to the first manufacturer or Chinese state owned subsidiary that wants it.
Notice how he left SpaceX alone. SpaceX is on much firmer footing.
