Jester has deleted original tweet. He has posted an update here:

Someone correctly noted downthread that this account has never tweeted.

1. I suspect someone has them all - deleting is fruitless, young man.

2. Jared Grifter

Grifters gotta grift.

[gratuitous]

3. Or, as the prosecutor will call it

Destruction of evidence. Has anyone bothered to tell these nincompoops that just because you deleted a bunch of stuff, it isn't really gone forever, because that's not how the internet works?

[Wellstone ruled]

27. That is a generally excepted rule of law after Nixon

and the missing minutes on the Web Core Tapes.

4. He's about to testify to the Senate comm.

29. The penalty for perjury is an underrated force.

He was in the room with Flynn and the Russian ambassador.

5. Thats why we have www.backtweets.com isnt it @jaredkushner? nt

[bathroommonkey76]

6. His Twitter page says

"@jaredkushner hasn't Tweeted"

https://twitter.com/jaredkushner

Has he tweeted yet?

Was he an active Twitter user?

[Ms. Toad]

9. I can't find any retweeted tweets

(Don't know if they disappear when you clean out your accoutn).

None of the easily accessible archive searches turned up any tweets from him. (He was tagged in lots of them.)

[bathroommonkey76]

11. He's a new user who hasn't tweeted. n/t

[Ms. Toad]

12. He's had an account since late 2016.

I did find @ references to him in fall 2016. So he may not have tweeted - but he's not a new (as in just joined today) user. (Just checked - his join date is 4/2009)

[bathroommonkey76]

13. This story about Jared's tweeting habits was published a few minutes ago

Actually, he tweets nothing.

President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, plays a key role in the administration and is featured in a pair of big news headlines just today – his leading a special task force featuring tech industry luminaries, and his pending testimony before a Senate committee investigating Russian meddling in November’s election.

Kushner’s father-in-law would be tweeting up a storm on such a busy day.

Kushner tweets nothing, as seen in the screen capture above, just as he has done – not done? -- every single day since nonetheless establishing a Twitter account in April 2009.

Trump, famous perhaps for nothing more -- besides reality TV and being elected president -- joined Twitter a month before his son-in-law, and as of just past lunchtime today, had tweeted 34,700 times.

Current president: about a dozen tweets per day, on average, for eight years.

Presidential son-in-law: zero tweets per day over the same eight years.

(By way of comparison, I joined Twitter 7 months before Trump, consider myself a heavy user, and have tweeted 12,900 times, or roughly a third as often as the president.)

Kushner is by no means the only famous person to open a Twitter account and never tweet. Some see it as gobbling up CompanySucks domain names before anyone else has the chance.

At least Kushner does follow his father-in-law.

14. The question asked was whether he has never tweeted OR has deleted any tweets he sent.

I'm not sure the article answers that queston.

I have no idea what started the "Jared deleted his tweets" story - it may well be fake news, based on someone noticing a blank account and assuming that it had not been blank until recently. Or it may have been started by someone who had been watching his tweets and had seen prior tweets that vanished.

He joined in April 2009.
There are currently no tweets.
I didn't find any of his tweets retweeted (assuming they survive if he deleted the original)
I haven't found any in a quick search of archives I could find.

That suggests he hasn't tweeted at all (rather than deleted them). But it doesn't actually establish it - without a better archival search tool than I had access to on the fly.

[bathroommonkey76]

16. from the article

"Presidential son-in-law: zero tweets per day over the same eight years."

Think that answers the question.

[Ms. Toad]

17. Not if all they are doing is looking at today's screenshot.

The point is that there is an allegation he deleted all of his tweets. If he sent 1000 tweeets, and deleted all of them, I believe the screenshot would look identical to someone who had not tweeted at all.

I just deletee two tweets, and my tweet count went down by two, as if I'd never tweeted them. I'm not going to delete all of them to test - but unless there is something bizarre about deleting the last tweet - you can delete back to a fresh slate that would look identical to someone who had never tweeted at all.


So, without more, there is no way to tell which of the two scenarios applies. I see nothing in the article suggesting they did anything beyond look at the currently public home page (e.g. talk to him, search the archives, etc. to see if his home page reflected reality)

[yodermon]

18. I jumped the gun on this one, see updated OP n/t

[Ms. Toad]

19. Thanks for correcting!

But as to this sub-discussion, that fact that at one point he had made at least 3 tweets proves the point I was trying to make. A home page that shows no tweets does not prove he never tweeted.

[bathroommonkey76]

20. Subscribing to a person's tweets is the best way to tell if they have ever tweeted.

The Twitter app for Android notifies me when the people I subscribe to send out a tweet.

You're talking yourself into circles.

Dontcha' think if he had tweeted that someone on these interwebs would have screenshots to prove that he has been active on Twitter?

[Ms. Toad]

21. Wrong. He has tweeted.

http://web.archive.org/web/20140305055703/https://twitter.com/jaredkushner

I'm not talking myself in circles. I was attempting to logically establish the theory that has just been proven correct via a better archive tool than I have access to.

ETA: While subscribing gets you notification of tweets going forward, you can't retroactively subscribe to tweets that have been deleted. So that, as a suggestion to resolving this question, is just silly.

[bathroommonkey76]

22. Well, you should always use the WaybackMachine when searching for deleted tweets

Didn't you know that?

[Ms. Toad]

31. I haven't used it for searching twitter before.

My extensive use of the wayback machine has been in tracing long-dead websites and retrieving prior art for patent litigation.

My understanding (apparently incorrect) was that tweets would not be archived there - so I had done a quick search for a similar site for tweets.

But - you're pretty snarky for someone who, until a post ago, insisted I was arguing in circles because there couldn't possibly be any deleted tweets.

[bathroommonkey76]

33. Because you were exhausting...

Most know-it-alls can drain the life out of people.

[Ms. Toad]

34. Gotcha.

You're describing yourself through this post when you still believed that I was clueless and were trying to explain to me how silly I was. It was a tad exhausting.

[bathroommonkey76]

35. Actually, that post was accurate about showing deleted tweets

after they are deleted on Twitter-- you just weren't bright enough to understand.

[bathroommonkey76]

23. Hmm

The screenshot posted on the link you provided says that Kushner posted 3 tweets-- Why is it only showing 2 tweets?

[Ms. Toad]

30. You'd have to ask the archivists how that works.

From my experience with archive.org, it it good - but does not necessarily capture everything depending on when it does its crawl.

My point is just that the screen capture today showing 0 tweets only reflects the number of outstanding tweets - not the total tweets ever made.

[LeftInTX]

25. I tried deleting a retweet yesterday, I couldn't

[bathroommonkey76]

26. Why couldn't you delete a retweet?

Did you try it again today?

[LeftInTX]

28. . No delete option on the retweet

I wanted to redo the retweet and add a comment.

[Ms. Toad]

32. What I'm not sure about is whether if you tweet something and I retweet it,

and you later delete your original tweet, whether the original tweet would still show up attached to my retweet.

I guess I could test it, since I have two accounts . . .

[Grammy23]

7. I know very little about Twitter. Don't use it.

I know just enough to enjoy jokes by late night comics. Fortunately, there ARE people who understand way more than I do. And even I know that deleted does not mean GONE without a trace. How naive can Kushner be? Is he really that clueless?? These clods in the WH are dumb as a box of rocks.

[no_hypocrisy]

8. Here's his WH Twitter page. Not exciting at all.

https://twitter.com/RealJKushner

[LeftInTX]

36. He must spend alot of time in St. Petersburg, Florida

[Fla Dem]

10. Yep, his page is up, but no tweets.
