> 1T messages per day

How? I mean there are 7B people on earth. Are people that active on Twitter? Or does "messages" mean something else here?

A message in this case probably doesn't mean a Tweet. A message if probably just a message on the bus/in the queue and any action on Twitter probably produces one. Like, retweet, tweet, follow, sign up, everything.

Oh if the likes are included then it makes sense.

Bots, news organizations, and teenagers. ~143 messages/day per human doesn't seem unreasonable.

A message probably counts every tweet a person views at a minimum.
