You will surely find a larger percentage of narcissists being very vocal on twitter (but also on other platforms like instagram or facebook and even youtube). Amongst them there are a lot of genuine regular (as in non-narcissists attention seekers) people who use those communication channels.
Until the incentives of social media change these tendencies keep up or get even worse.
It’s not about the tweet, but a collection of writeups in media. I was hoping that the so-called elites have some common sense.

...listed in a tweet.
I block twitter though /etc/hosts so I can't click through to see what you're talking about.
My point is, get off Twitter entirely.

I still can't figure out whether the world is run by evil sociopaths or well-meaning idiots, nor which possibility is scarier.
I rejoined twitter a few months ago, and quit again: it was inciting negative emotions and it felt addictive. The UI made me feel like I was having a mild stroke. It was disorienting.
Having bailed on it again, my take is: generally the loudest and most attention-seeking people are the ones on there making the most noise and seeking attention most thirstily.
Twitter is part of the problem, IMO.
