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.
Here’s my Nitter search with some filters:
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.

I don't know of any service that verifies tweets, but this one is real: https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-aoc-stop-hitting-on-me-tweet-mark-zuckerberg-2022-4
Business Insider is basically a tabliod shitrag nowadays
I was curious so I went to the top stories on their site. I don't see it.

Why/how is it a "tabliod shitrag"?
Ok, so the tweet is a hoax everyone.
You don't need to be a hacker to edit an image...
Or just use inspect element on a Twitter post and change it.
Shut up let me live my dream as a Photoshop hacker!!

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
