Suspected CEO Killer Expressed Admiration for Elon Musk

10 December 2024

The suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson reportedly shared content on social media praising billionaire Elon Musk.

Luigi Mangione was charged with murder on Monday night in New York City following the fatal shooting of Thompson.

Earlier this year, Mangione shared a post on his X account of another user praising Musk for his “commitment to long-term civilization success.”

The post referenced a statement by Musk from March, where he declared he was “in a battle to the death with the anti-civilizational woke mind virus.”

Among Mangione’s most recent activity on X was a repost, alongside other posts criticizing “wokeism” in society.

Mangione now faces charges of murder in connection with the death of Thompson.
