That's part of the confusing thing. Musk basically says the app has too many requests and needs to be rewritten. Then the employee publicly calls out Musk for being completely wrong. And when pressed says... the app has too many requests needs to be completely rewritten.
Musk was trying to write this dude a blank check for what he wanted and he jumped in front of a bullet instead just because he and Musk have a different definition of an "RPC".
The "1200 RPCs" line, which was specifically referred to as "wrong," was indeed wrong. Elon's changed his tune since, referring to "1200 microservices."
