Unlikely, unless the interviewer was just trolling them.

If it was just their attitude, they’d not tell them they were wrong when they weren’t and tell them to work on x y and z to be qualified in the future. They’d just complete or end the interview and say something like, “Great! You should hear back in x days” and then reject in their ATS.

If not, then the recruiter is an asshole and gaslighting the candidate.
