It does appear that the original tweet thread may be a fabrication, but the author here may be giving themselves too much credit for having the thread disappear.
Seems like many people were asking hard questions.

It was striking to me how quickly he started making things disappear after I asked, though, and so far as I can tell the timing is consistent specifically with that question being the immediate precipitating factor.

- TraceWoodgrains 4y agoHis name is public and visible on the archive page etc, but he is not prominent and at least deleted the thread rather than letting it continue to spread. I’d rather not unilaterally make this the defining moment in his public life long-term, so I’m keeping the name out of a Google-able permanent article.
