I'm not sure what you are trying to do with this link, the two x accounts are not the same....

Reportedly Twitter changed the guy’s X account to that one.

I think we're talking past each other, the x who lost his account (I think) is now x12345678998765 the post behind the link was made by the account x12345678908765 they are not the same account, so the link does neither disprove nor prove the article in the main post which makes the comment by sam just useless and deceiving

Ah, you’re correct. Cheers.
