I don't think it was a copy-paste from one professor to another. They may not even handle their own tweets. But whether or not they do, I think that they are fed PR messaging that they most often just copy-pasted. I've been following cases like this for a while, and I've seen it too much to think anything else is likely.

It's funny that this is the more charitable interpretation, although honestly I don't know if it is worse to be a plagiarist or a sock puppet.
