In this case it's because part of the joke is the quote tweet. You could also link to the tweet instead of a screenshot but then we need to connect to Musk's servers at some point (even if through a proxy like nitter)

Yes, but he could've copy pasted the title.

You could've changed the main title to something like "programming the declaration of independence" or "programming like it's 1750"

He mocks op. The gag is not the font anymore.

True but I think showing the quoted tweet is better than just in the title cause it is part of the joke in the image.

Title is normally used as a reaction or just simple text with some reference to the image

I still think this format sucks because the punchline comes first.
