Are any of these accounts legitimate?

As can be clearly seen by the legitimacy indication hyper checkmark super check, only the last one is legit.

The last one has the verification symbol

No seriously, I the the first is his real account and the second is a Twitter clone

The Twitter clone is just copying his tweets from Twitter. So you can be relatively sure, that the content is also real.
