There is no way to tell if this is right or wrong, we are not engineers at Twitter, and I suspect that no engineer there would dare to correct him. I'm pretty sure Twitter has an API gateway of some sort, it doesn't make sense that it's a batching issue.

But it doesn't matter who is right or wrong. The unprofessional atmosphere, the callousness, the one-upmanship is the problem. He is the CEO for God's sake. This is a PR nightmare. I know that it worked for Trump, but it isn't working even for him anymore.

He didn't come up with that number. Twitter engineers told him that number.

It's hard to tell if that's the case.

I honestly don't understand what remote procedure calls have to do with the client. Surely the clients wouldn't interact in such a way with the microservices, there would be some sort of API gateway, maybe even one for each platform or service, like the backend for frontend pattern.

It's probably more complicated than this, and you can't exactly put it into a few words, but he tried, and it didn't make sense, but he still managed to call his employees idiots.
