Your first link goes to a 2023 arXiv pre-print that never landed in any journals as far as I can tell (could be wrong though). And there seems to be some controversy about whether Kerr's math shows what he says it shows.

This is the danger of trying to sensationalize science and putting any special weight on science influencers, especially ones who very often seem gung-ho about any story that challenges the status quo despite the evidence.
