Dude, you're wrong. All of the evidence is consistent with it being converted to and from a gif. We can see what Watson did and how he did it and verify that it is consistent.

A "gif" is a colloquial term in the current day meaning "looping animation without sound". The term originated from the image format which used to be the only animated format available on the web. Every reference to "gif" in that article is the colloquial definition, NOT the image format. I GUARANTEE you, if anyone finds the "original gif" it will simply be an mp4.
Check markup of the embedded tweets yourself. You will find ZERO gif images. Wired calls them "gifs" because that's what everybody calls them, not because they are literally encoded in the GIF image format which is what the OP suggests.
