Post

The Post probably laid off the people who would have done that research before

I’m sure they know the name (they mention having a document with a name on it, and I’d be shocked if it’s not the same one). It’s just a hassle to find substantiation, deal with legal review, etc., and they clearly don’t care enough.

Yeah, that too. And I can’t imagine a paper owned by Bezos is particularly motivated to do so.

If you’re going to give these assholes publicity (and this guy is a fucking bigot, not just an Elon freak), you owe it to the world not to protect them from consequences just because you don’t want to bother with getting the name past legal or whatever the fuck.

To be clear, the authors probably know who this person is, but finding and presenting evidence for an identification is much harder than writing about some tweets.
