I would ponder the GDPR's definition of personal data before making such definitive claim.

The GDPR only applies to businesses, not individuals. So, clearly in this case it does not apply at all since the person behind @ElonJet is acting in an individual capacity.

The GDPR applies to everyone, except "by a natural person in the course of a purely personal or household activity", member states and some authorities.
