This guy doesn't work at Twitter. He has no online presence under that name (no LinkedIn for a guy this high up?) and his script is just super laughable ("We at Twitter are just super left left left, we hate the right")

The whole video is just straight up fake.

One of the particularly amusing things I’ve noticed in right wing agitprop things like this is how badly they are at imitating actual leftist discourse. Nobody talks like that IRL except in the minds of RWNJs. I can’t think of a single left leaning space I’ve been a part of in the past five years where someone would say that and it wouldn’t go unchallenged or people would look at them very weirdly. It’s such a fundamental misunderstanding of the underlying dynamics.

It’s one of the most obvious tells, I’m just surprised that they are still this bad at it after so many years.

In their defence it doesn’t matter in practice, the target audience simply does not care or know the difference.

First step after leaving the dinner would be to scrub any online presence (to enable this exact comment). Not calling you out specifically, it's the right play.
