Twitter _is_ a toxic place with or without him.

He had thousands of replies to that tweet with people posting pictures of Musk looking even worse. Sure he posts low quality garbage on Twitter but so does everyone else. The entire point of the site is to post low quality 140 character zingers every waking second of the day.

You're missing the cause-and-effect here. People are stooping to his level. He's serving as a prime example of the worst kind of behavior to emulate, and emulate they are.

I disagree. Musk is stooping to the level of Twitter. Musk's shitposts generate way more activity than any of his SpaceX or Tesla posts.
