let’s be clear - you read a headline of a tweet that confirmed your biases and rushed in to post this? How do you know this is a 51% attack? Did you read any more than the title of this topic? who claimed this?
I don't have any beef in this game, but the previous posters message does not require that the 51% attack is confirmed.
The claim seems plausible enough that people are debating if it actually happened or not, and if it is sustainable to keep it up. That's a big difference to 51% attacks being merely theoretical (which implies that they are unrealistic in practice).
