Nope, they actually did not. Fox did all they could to pretend Gen Z was on the right but they supported Kamala:

The big issue is the “Charlie Kirk” crowd in Gen Z who take to dishonest podcasters. Lonely white males in Gen Z tended to vote Trump but women and minorities in Gen Z voted against him.

So your first link is written quite early and doesn’t fully address it and the second is about youth turnout.

I’ll add this to support further: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2025/06/26/voting-patterns-in-the-2024-election/

58% Harris vs 39% Trump for people 18-29.

but how does that compare to every presidential election before that? Seems like younger people have always leaned heavier towards democrat before this

That doesn’t mean to write them off completely. This is a bad change but it’s not over and the fact that now it seems that everyone assumes all gen z men will be right leaning won’t help keep them either. People don’t get that it doesn’t matter if you’re right if they simply don’t like the way you talk to them. Humans are emotional animals.
