The ProductHunt link at the top suggests perhaps that is where the testimonials are from. It's not clear why you think they're meant to be tweets. A quick scan of the Product Hunt page quickly found at least one that has a reply saying they'll add it to the testimonials if ok.

Good point, but https://www.producthunt.com/@james/reviews didn't review this.

Nothing on the page says they are all reviews from producthunt, nor that the testimonials are all from public sources. I get being skeptical; my default assumption tends to be that testimonials are not to be trusted, but this seems excessive.

There’s another comment pointing out that one of the images are from unsplash. What more proof do you need?

Here’s a tip: if you modify reviews for “privacy reasons”, there is literally nothing separating them from a fake review.

This is not how you build trust. If someone accepts being listed as a review there is no privacy concern, if they do not they shouldn’t be there at all.

That proves exactly nothing other than that one of the images is from unsplash. Why do you think it does?
