I trust David Shuster as a journalist, but I personally really would prefer more evidence.
It's not checkmarked as officially him though. It's not that I'm doubting the journalist, we don't know if this is him.
This article from 2010 quotes and links to that same Twitter account as being his, so it looks real as far as I can tell. Other articles and references I’ve found more recently also link to that same account. It looks legit.
Remember, the blue check no longer means ‘verified’ – now it only means ‘paid for premium’ (since Musk took over, he changed it such that you just have to pay monthly for the blue check, not be the verified person), so I wouldn’t put stock in that blue check now.

Ohhhh gotcha. I was just adding my two cents, but now I understand what you’re saying. I’ll contact him about this.
