According to the tweets, users can send an invite to "co-tweet," which the invitee can subsequently accept or decline. Essentially, a user can't just add another person to a tweet without permission. If accepted, the written tweet will apparently show on both users' timelines.

These invites show up in the notifications tab or in DMs. Navarra posted a screenshot which shows a pop-up message from Twitter, displaying the CoTweet request and also adding the stipulation that "you can remove yourself anytime" from the tweet.
