The full story I heard was that he was a member of Southwest's
'elite/premium' group of flyers which afforded him flying privileges. He
wanted the rest of his family to be afforded similar privileges on this
particular flight, which the agent refused to do. The agent stated he/she
took the tweet as a threat.
I was a member of several airline's premium flyer groups and on some
occasions family members were allowed similar privileges when flying with
me - and on some flights they weren't. IIRC, the rules of the clubs stated
these privilidges were only for the member.
I've run into exceptional gate agents and I've run into some real jerks.

Southwest Airlines removed a passenger and his family from the plane
after he tweeted his opinion about the rude gate agent.

Just earlier this year, I've experienced a comparably rude agent and
flight attendant with United Express (ExpressJet) in Houston (IAH).
