The example tweet, a somewhat large one with links and images, gzips down to 1.5KB by itself. Given that information, I think it would be reasonable to estimate 1KB per tweet in bulk.
Not it isn't.
It's not about storage but about analysing the data.
It's text so it could easily be compressed to smaller size but this doesn't help in knowing anything about the tweet author, if he is a bit or not.
That's like saying it's easy to check if a picture shows a bird because it's only 100kB.
Musk has one of the top AI researchers of his generation working for him(Karpathy). In general is rich enough to hire anyone he wants for consultation.
I’m boggled by the extent to which people mind-read Musk through his tweets. To me it’s obvious that his Twitter is an outlet for stress busting and banter, like smoke breaks.
Tweets come with a lot more data than that.
