I agree that a real name policy would help remove the bots and anonymous hate speech. But there is plenty of non-anonymous hate speech that still make Twitter toxic.

The ad-revenue model relies on attention, and attention thrives on memes that inspire outrage, contempt, and fear. The solution is a freemium subscription model. But I don't think he'll do that. I admire the guy's accomplishments like everyone else but we all know he's got a bit of an ego. He'll not put a paywall in front of his Twitter army.
