I can sell Jack's tweet right now.

That's a bigger issue than Jack being able to sell it multiple times.

You can. Is it the same? No.

Just as it's not the same if a random person tries to sell movie props from famous movies, compared to if the person actually being in that production in the first place.

What? If they sell verifiably the same physical prop, then what's the difference?

Jack's tweet doesn't become counterfeit if Hjfrf sells it, it's non-figuratively and verifiably the same exact tweet.

The NFT representing Jack's tweet is a pointer to the tweet. It's possible to create an unlimited number of pointers to the same thing.
