A lot of smart people tend to know a lot about some topics and be overconfident in others. Musk knows a lot about rocketry, but his software expertise is about 25 years out of date. He did write websites himself back in the zip2 days, but back in the 90s web development was a very different beast than it is today. I'm not that surprised that he went into Twitter thinking "it's a website, I know this" and ended up being wrong.
