He was saying things that were clearly wrong (e.g. the client makes thousands of requests just to load the timeline), and easy to verify. So if that came from "multiple senior tech people", he's firing the wrong ones.
From other tweets I've read, the senior tech people could have told him something correct — that loading the timeline results in thousands of requests to microservices — but he misunderstood it — those requests do not at all originate 1:1 from the client, and they are not a huge factor in the overall latency.
Thats a possibility. Another possibility is that, unlike Elon Musk, nobody in this thread has the slightest clue as to what is going on with Twitter in any real sense but we all pretend that we do.
