I, for one, am not impressed by his Twitter thread. It looks very sloppy, and I am completely disregarding videos of floating flakes of gray whatever-the-heck. They look like they have none of the equipment to properly test what material they created or what its properties are. It doesn't inspire confidence, it's just more damn attention-seeking. Stick to rockets or whatever.
That said, the fact that LK-99 has not been instantly debunked makes me somewhat hopeful that even ridiculously sloppy attempts like this did manage to create a bit of the crystal lattice that makes this material unique, and that, if indeed it does have superconducting properties, the manufacturing process won't be hard.
