The linked post just seems odd in general.

1) I've seen s lot of leaks being ransomed by hackers and hacker groups before and this post seem a bit amateurish (terms, payment, reference to GDPR, name calling Elon etc)

2) That's not how GDPR fines work (the numbers referenced in the post regarding 400m users). The previous fines were given because of the lack of notifying the EU regulators. Not because of the size of the breach. If Twitter is only made aware of this leak now, they can send the reports now and then work on their internal investigation and no fines will be given.
