Both are correct but also could we not be pedantic on a meme, please?

Actually no, tilting doesn't really mean landscape but instead seesawing your phone left.

Rotate is the correct word

Actually no, tilting means:

move or cause to move into a sloping position.

Definition of sloping:

inclined from a horizontal or vertical line

This line is created by your phone and is used to determine orientation. Ergo when you tilt your phone far enough in one direction, the screen orientation will rotate.
