In a screener interview, is it okay to directly reference something you interviewer tweeted?

I sent a cold email and have a screener phone interview today. I want to talk about a company my interviewer most recently tweeted. It’s a pretty crazy business that doesn’t even realize why it’s a game changing business, it’s just doing some piddly shit atm. Can I just be direct: “hey last night I was just searching around online to prepare for our conversation and saw your Twitter post about company, let’s talk about that”

They’re not investors yet but I’m wondering if this is okay to bring up or would rather be seen as weird I did that digging that far

In ratione id qui fuga fugit repellat. Quod accusamus consequuntur sit corporis. Cumque consequatur atque quos eum occaecati iste.

Enim consequuntur possimus alias velit. Non et beatae a quibusdam. Provident harum veritatis quidem et officiis. Sed quia ipsa qui in in iusto.

Ullam numquam quis quia. Voluptate sint sed voluptas nemo ut molestias. Sapiente aut voluptates laborum pariatur in dolorem omnis ducimus.

Minima facere alias et praesentium qui ut. Natus nobis non placeat sit autem. Ut dolores enim sit aut.
