His Tweets are all done with an iPhone, as Twitter allows you to see what client a tweet was made from. The only way bot behavior could be done on a smartphone, is if the phone is an iOS virtual machine, and the tweets are programmatically generated using some algo.

You're neglecting the simple solution of a hot dog moved around by a few actuators. Musk could totally be replaced by one of these.

Or some other stylus that you can use on a touchscreen with your hands in non-conductive gloves. But a hot dog is funnier.

I'm now seeing Elon Musk in that one universe from Everything, Everywhere, all at Once.

Not if the bot has a physical form and is able to interact with a physical iPhone.
