Has Magnus even claimed Hans has cheated?
Magnus is acting like a shitty bully.
He's just letting everyone heap unfounded and ridiculous insinuations on his opponent without having the courage to even make a statement.

Then, the button choices at the bottom are "Got it!", "Deny" and "Save preferences."
It seems like if I choose Deny, I am safe but I can't be sure! What am I denying exactly? And if I click Deny, does it matter how I set the switches above?
If I click, I am in big trouble :P
Yeah, that's totally classy.
What kind of statement should he make?
A human brain isn't fully developed at 19, just because we send 19y olds off to kill in wars doesn't mean they are adults and it certainly doesn't indicate infantilizing a young adult by allowing them growth. If we're talking about a 39y old man, then you can start proselytizing and comparing.
Most of mid-life -> older is validating the "youth is wasted on the young" quote and turning into an old fart. A fudge-ton of humans never had this chance, that doesn't mean we can't grow and allow for it now where circumstances allow.
I find this similar to the student loan forgiveness/free State College conversation in the US. It is almost as ridiculous as "originalism" in interpreting the U.S. Constitution. A document made to be updated at the will of the people, yet we must just adhere to what a 18th century aristocratic male landowner would have thought if presented with the question of <INSERT ANYTHING POST 1789>"
Investigate him if there is cause, but not because of Magnus' tweets. Freely admitting to your mistakes and trying to learn from them is something to be encouraged.
How people on HN pirated software or did gray-hat stuff when young, and where did it take you?
Maybe taking carlson at his non-word is sufficient to harm this young man for you, but it is not for me.
Hans also had this to say after he beat Carlsen: “It must be embarrassing for the world champion to lose to me. I feel bad for him!” Who is the bully here?
Oh wait, that's totally not the case and Carlsen absolutely knew who he would be playing and knew the exact measures the tournament was taking and still hasn't had the balls to release a statement actually accusing Niemann of cheating, despite the fact that this is something everyone knows.
Our brave Carlsen is too scared to make the claim that Hans is cheating despite this being something as obvious as the sky appearing blue.
I'm not sure how this makes Carlsen look any better.
It's obvious that he's a world-class player, but it's his responsibility alone to get past that bad reputation. Even after time passes and he gets away from it, people will still use it as a pretext to screw with him. But he earned that black mark just as much as he earned his playing skill.
The smart move for Niemann is to be absurdly graceful about this, and eventually, hopefully, get Carlsen on his side (or at least neutral.)
Doesn't excuse him, but he has acknowledged it and his shame and there is absolutely no evidence he has cheated over the board.
Chess.com seems to have additional evidence of Hans cheating:
