This has to be some PR guy writing these, the tweet strings surely aren’t being sent from the lander itself.

With the last electrons in his batteries, the last few watts - the lander finally got a stable connection back, could then create a chatgpt3 account and use the API to express his last wishes on Twitter.

5 minutes later the account is banned for having posted location data on the rover.
