Answered less than a minute ago. The odds of anything happening after this length of time are slim. Having said that, Penal Code 422 is the code for criminal threats. It is a "wobbler" and can be filed either as a felony or a misdemeanor. As a felony, it is a strike and carries up to 3 years in custody.
They would have up to 3 years to file charges against you.
They would have to prove that you made a specific threat of death or harm with the intent that it be taken as a threat.
Don't admit to anything - either here or to the authorities. If something comes of this, you need a lawyer.
You will need a good criminal defense attorney. I'd strongly suggest you find someone who focuses on criminal law and who routinely practices in the court where this case will be heard.

Based on the amount of time that has lapsed since your "tweet," it does not appear that this will pose an issue. However, if you are contacted by law enforcement or should the State Attorney proceed with taking action on this matter, you would be wise to consult with a licensed criminal defense attorney in your jurisdiction.
