Musk claimed a record of 20,000 of tweets per second recently [1]. How does that square with what you’re saying? 300 times 450 is closer to 150,000. Am I missing something?

That tweet does not claim 20,000 is a record.

The event also did not reach 20,000, it "almost" hit it.

You’re right. I misinterpreted ‘record usage’. I found a 2013 blog post [1] claiming a 143 thousand tweets per second peak.
