Most people who do not experience qualia never realize that they're missing something that others experience. They often conclude that consciousness is an illusion that they have seen through.

How can you "not experience qualia," if they exist?

Other people have qualia, but you don't. Perhaps I don't understand the question.

I don't understand how someone can not have qualia.

A robot could be programmed to have certain responses to stimuli without also experiencing qualia. Perhaps it could act quite similarly to people who have qualia, despite not having qualia. (not clear if this actually is possible)

Essentially yes, although technically, a p-zombie is behaviorally indistinguishable from a person who does experience qualia, whereas my tweet postulated a behavioral correlate of qualia.
