With the new SAT it would be 1270 out of 1600. Not great, but not bad.
I looked it up and it is the 80th percentile. For a white male (or an Asian) this would not be enough to get into a top school.

Hogg has posts on Reddit specifically whining about how poor his SAT score is though.

Largely enough to be a politician, especially a democrat one : take e.g. Maxine Waters, she must have SAT like -200 out of 1600.

I think it's been "recentered" a couple of times over the years, too.

If he had self-identified as a blue-eyed trisexual Native American woman, was able to throw a ball accurately through some point in space, or was a legacy, he shouldn't have had too much trouble being admitted to a top school.

The SATs were normalized years ago. A 1978 1150 was better than a 1250 in 2018.

Context is very important.

A GPA of 4.2 out of 4 paired with an SAT score of 1270 out of 1600 fairly screams MAJOR GRADE INFLATION. It has caused a mediocre student to believe he is a genius — no doubt he thinks something is wrong with the SAT test. Colleges are not oblivious to this phenomenon.
