No, because the pic comes from an EMBEDDED LINK. THe Tweet itself is the same, including date it was published, but it links to a live (current) page, and the current screen shot image (card) for that page is loaded each time the Tweet is loaded.
In other words, published tweet is reloaded, but linked page image is always current.

If a tweet's picture is changed, would that not also update the timestamp? Asking for someone who has never used twitter.

That's a ridiculous amount of work. It's easier to delete/repost the tweet. No moron's going to do what you suggested.

OMG. You really have ZERo idea how the internet works?
Don;t you realize that EVERYTIME you boot your computer and browse a website, the browser UPDATES the website content provided to it?
Please. Please. You have zero idea what you are talking about.

Stop being a jerk. That's not the way Twitter works. It's not the same thing so stop comparing them.
