"If the average length of a tweet (minus headers) is ~100 bytes of text, that’s only 50GB. You could fit it on a USB stick." https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1534939289653592065

Having worked with the Twitter API, I think he's rather underestimating how much volume this is gonna wind up being, the amount of processing it'll entail, and the difficulties of determining "this is a bot" from just the Tweet data.
