Are you referring to the tweet by @arodericks? Amusingly his account has no sign of offical-ness, but I did find confirmation he really work(ed) for Twitter on newsmax [1].

A few days ago I would have agreed with you that it's unlikely a Twitter official just blatantly lied about something so obvious. But then they made the UI falsely indicate people had verified their phone numbers for a juvenile prank.

Now I don't trust Twitter more than a random user. So I have no idea what happened.
