I don't have an issue with it as far as Twitter the company goes, but I also don't think things that don't have a public way of reading them without an account should be used as sources on HN. Yes some paywalled content gets posted occasionally, but most of it has a public archive somewhere so others can still participate in the discussion. Otherwise HN will just end up a bunch of different cliques, each commenting on different things that they have access to, which seems to defeat the point of HN. At least to me. I mean, at that point you might as well just have the discussion on Twitter about info posted on Twitter as 100% of people with a Twitter account can participate.
