  Can be: yes. Likely: No.

  Doubtful. Rare situations exist, of course, but this post has no real objective, so best to assume it’s fake.

      A post that long?

      Eh, well, it could definitely be an unmarked bot on X. That’s good attention bait, and it has a feeling of temporal inplausibility kinda like a ‘cheapest API LLM’ story.
