He's asking Twitter for what additional data Twitter stores in response to clicking on Twitter-shortened links. This is perfectly in line with the spirit of GDPR. That said, we're going to have a long road and huge mess as a result of the ambiguity that exists at so many levels and there will be lots of legal tests.
FWIW, I led the GDPR compliance effort for a SAAS product and our strategy was mostly to stop storing or processing anything we didn't absolutely need AND to make sure we could generate necessary audits to provide that information in response to customer inquiries. Here, it sounds like Twitter dropped the ball or didn't go through the effort to be compliant.
