Interesting… and Info about the source and this was seen?
The Chinese side is absolute silent (a couple comments say it's PS'd), so likely not real
That's in fact me almost proof that is is fake! If it would be legit the discussion and news would be much more on top all over!
As much as I want this to be GJ-X, the planform doesn't match satellite photo or the video, specifically the wing-body junction on GJ-X isn't parallel to the longitudinal axis.
Having said that it could be CG or real photo of another aircraft, it just doesn't match GJ-X
The lines seemed too clear for such a grainy/pixelated pic.

Deino, IMO it's probably a good idea to not actively post "unknown if real photos" on twitter asking for people there to verify if it's real or not.
Probably best to keep things confined in places on SDF for a few days until a picture's identity/veracity is confirmed first.
Your reputation and credibility on front facing platforms like Twitter is more important than asking for randoms on twitter openly about whether a photo is real or not (because there will be people that use it against you).
I agree, but the funny / ironic or at the same time embarrassing part is, that even here no-one noticed it is in fact a USN X-47B and on Twitter I finally found an answer.
I don't think that's an endorsement for the wisdom of crowd sourcing on twitter, but more about knowing who on SDF to pay attention to...
