Any person can create a post like this on social media, but that can’t become an official position and a fact either.

There are many posts on the Internet regarding number of crashes of various fighter aircraft across the world. Most of these are full of inaccuracies. Obviously, such posts become a fun fest for many.

This Tweet appears exactly that.

its a joke bruh, let it go
 
Its not just Tejas. Modern aircraft are generally designed to be aerodynamically unstable. This provides the aircraft super-maneuverability and has little to do with pilot's competency. The FBW system electronically stabilizes the aircraft on its axis.

Yes, true, most modern jet fighters are aerodynamically unstable but then again their designers and producers have a history of aircraft design and production. For example, F-16 is the OG RSS design but General Dynamics didn't open their aerodynamic account with it. They had already built successful bombers and then acquired Convair (which had already built successful stable jet fighters for some years like the F-106 Delta and F-111, the latter then evolved into F-16). Tejas is India's first proper jet fighter project and I think they could have started with something less ambitious and more stable like how we did with JFT (which is an aerodynamically stable design).
