Is there a place to verify these posts are real without actually touching Twitter (currently known as Elon Musk’s X)? I see there’s blue checkmarks on them but I have a feeling a really cleaver hacker could fake those in an image.
The iPhone let me copy that text out of the image (fastest way was to screenshot and then hold my finger on the text in the screenshot preview). I then tapped “look up” and DuckDuckGo found articles about the exchange. But for less popular Tweets, Nitter should work.

Or just use inspect element on a Twitter post and change it.

[selects the text tool] “I’m in”
I think that was the joke
Seconding nitter. You can take any twitter link and just replace the front with nitter.net
You can just edit with inspect element pretty easily. I imagine there are fake twitter generators out there too
This specific one sounds familiar, I think I saw it some time ago
