Oookay, that’s going to take me a lot of mental gymnastics.
I’m gonna go with Occam’s razor here and just assume the owner of the company knows more about this than I do.

Sorry, but how can you possibly see his behavior and think the simpler explanation is that Musk knows anything about what he's talking about at this point as it concerns Twitter? Just because he owns it means nothing in this case - especially since he's avoided even discussing his misguided opinions with his employees?
The simpler explanation here is that he's embarrassed for making a stupid impulse purchase and now he's lashing out.
- Musk still has an axe to grind to justify his claim that Twitter was catastrophically mismanaged.
- He has a history of making very false statements about Twitter, including most recently that it’s the world’s biggest driver of ad traffic. That harms his credibility.
- He has been CEO for what, two weeks? And he’s suddenly discovered all this bloat stuff that others missed? Again that seems unlikely.
- This is a claim that on the face of it doesn’t pass muster, given what’s known about Twitter’s engineering approach. That should introduce more scepticism.
