I just posted the guardian version because I didn’t see yours.

“maga2020!” and no proof, ridiculous. Easy to believe something crazy if you want to believe it, I guess.

Well they (The Guardian) did the same baseless reporting on the 'death of Kim Jong Un' and nearly all of them and Twitter falsly reported it and some users believed it (with little to no evidence.) Now, this time it's a single screenshot used as substantial 'proof' to support this Twitter hack. However, it is not good enough to suggest that it is genuine as it can be easily faked.

So it seems some choose to believe claims without the actual facts and evidence unfolding over time but what's clear on Twitter and in this comments section is the number of users having symptoms of TDS. At least wait a bit until this fully develops rather than believing unverified reports or claims. We're much better than this.
