Maybe both of those examples were meant to be funny.
Yes, some insiders just enjoy trolling or ‘writing fiction’, or sometimes they are wrong for good reasons like management preempts them somehow. Someone could have a Twitter full of BS and actually be an insider. (Arguably, Sam Altman’s Twitter feed has a lot of this going on, and he’s long done that, so I think he gets a kick out of saying true things in misleading ways.) So I would not be shocked if he was an insider, stranger things have happened, but even that would not retroactively justify trying to read his tweets, is my point. The game is not worth the candle at all.
But to put him back into mere “life is too short” territory, I’d need to see some true non-public information sprinkled amongst the nonsense.
I’d say life is too short to even audit him to that extent!
