Oops he got suspended.
Because this is clearly bullshit.
Dont get me wrong, i totally believe there are exceptions made for specific accounts in exactly this fashion, but the stuff seen in the screenshots is just completely fabricated. Whatever this is, its not how Twitter would configure exceptions for stuff like this.
Read this for a rundown of why its either completely fabricated or at least not trustworthy

This keeps getting posted today and its fucking stupid. There are many legitimate points to criticize about Twitter and Musk so there is no point in spreading fake shit.
Definitely fake. No real programmer would ever use such explicit variable names.
Why would this be available from an api?
Anecdotal but I’ve encountered a lot of this lately. It seems people have taken to dropping the term “API” arbitrarily into posts and conversations to signal knowledgeability with recognizable lingo, often resulting in nearly plausible but not quite accurate technical descriptions.
TBF I bet it works most of the time, due to the ubiquity of interfaces in software, and I may only notice it when they feel emboldened by the success of their first attempt.
I’m not an expert but this seems likely fake, it just feels real because they really do let those accounts say whatever
Definitely fake. I’ve worked in IT, and I know Okta’s offerings. They do multi-factor and SSO stuff, basically password management stuff on steroids along with any regulatory compliance checklist stuff.
They do not rent out cloud infrastructure for other companies to use.
