For the months prior to Musk’s takeover, the researchers deemed just one tweet out of the three top 20 lists to be actually hateful, in this case against Jewish people. In the weeks AFTER Musk took over Twitter, the same analysis found that hateful tweets became much more prominent among the most popular tweets with potentially toxic language. For tweets using words associated with anti-LGBTQ+ or antisemitic posts, 7 of the top 20 posts in each category were now hateful. “The toxicity of Twitter has severely increased post-Elon Musk walking into that building,” says Bhaskar Chakravorti, dean of global business at the Fletcher Business School at Tufts University, which carried out the analysis.
