Is there a word or phrase which accurately describes the kind of erroneous fantasies and fallacy-ridden reasoning being exhibited by this individual?

Delusion of Grandeur?

That's part of it. He believes he'll be wildly successful regardless of domain expertise. He's so smart and anyone who questions or doubts anything he proposes is a worthless idiot.

There couldn't possibly be a good reason for things being the way they are, and he can't be arssed to stop and learn before loading and firing off a tweet from his gigantic ass cannon.

There must be a word for this.

The tweet linked by the OP doesn't dispute Musk's assertion, nor state why Musk "doesn't understand GraphQL"

Maybe it's supposed to be a sick burn that he said it was bad RPC calls when it's actually a bunch of bad GraphQL queries.

Much of the third world has very limited data thoughput or even much client side processing capability on their phones. "Not understanding" graphql is irrelevant. The key is to make as few requests and bytes transfered as possible. It seems the twitter mobile app hasn't been optimised for that, no matter what protocol it uses.

Programmer/developer.

At least in my experience.
