The description meta tag value derived from .Summary variables.

Because you didnt set summary field in Front matter or using manual splitting using  in your content.

Hugo automatically takes the first 70 words of your content as its summary and stores it into the .Summary page

gohugoio/hugo/blob/master/tpl/tplimpl/embedded/templates/twitter_cards.html#L21


      
          {{- else -}}
          {{- with $.Site.Params.images -}}
          <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image"/>
          <meta name="twitter:image" content="{{ index . 0 | absURL }}"/>
          {{ else -}}
          <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary"/>
          {{- end -}}
          {{- end -}}
          {{- end }}
          <meta name="twitter:title" content="{{ .Title }}"/>
          <meta name="twitter:description" content="{{ with .Description }}{{ . }}{{ else }}{{if .IsPage}}{{ .Summary }}{{ else }}{{ with .Site.Params.description }}{{ . }}{{ end }}{{ end }}{{ end -}}"/>
          
          {{- /* Deprecate site.Social.twitter in favor of site.Params.social.twitter */}}
          {{- $twitterSite := "" }}
          {{- with site.Params.social }}
            {{- if reflect.IsMap . }}
              {{- $twitterSite = .twitter }}
            {{- end }}
          {{- else }}
            {{- with site.Social.twitter }}
              {{- $twitterSite = . }}
