That doesn't make any sense. The crux of right wing ideology is that profit is the highest virtue, and if someone can't afford the commodified necessities of life this results in, then they don't deserve to live. Why would they kill one of their heroes?
I'm no conspiracy theorist, and I don't have any other corroborating evidence, but his banner has an x-ray. I'm wondering if our guy got himself into serious medical debt with a denied claim, read the :deny-defend-depose: book and went from there?
Seems like the most likely scenario. If he's a standard brainwormed techbro he might not have cared or thought about health insurance until it fucked him over personally and decided to take things into his own hands
To the right-libertarian, the truest believer in free markets and capitalism in the abstract, a monopolistic corporation is a scandal. These sorts of middlemen are not part of the libertarian’s idealized conception of capitalism. Therefore this CEO would be preventing the smooth and morally good functioning of capitalism.
He’s basically an ancap , which imo fits perfectly well on the right-wing side of things.
I think this guy has personal experiences due to some sort of spinal fusion seen in his Twitter banner. So, his politics may only be a part of his motive.
A good thing to remember is that an-caps believe that it is government regulations that mess up the market operating 'correctly', and that 'Obama-care' manipulated the 'free market' and forced healthcare insurance corporations onto the American public.
They can absolutely hold a grudge against 'corporatists and statists'. The fact of the matter is that regardless of his ideology, even if he was an an-cap this doesn't actually do anything. It's good and funny because CEO's are some of the most worthless people on the planet, but not exactly a project builder.

he loves tech CEOs maybe it's just a turf thing.
Its really easy to worship the boot when you're the one doing the stomping. Whole lot harder when you're under it.

what funny is it isn't anywhere on his goodreads list. maybe he picked it up in the last 6 mos and didn't log it
i guess it's possible he became laser focused obsessed in the last 6 mos after his own issues and his grandparents died. best case scenario really.
He falls off Twitter and the injury picture are my only "evidence"
Oh he logged it. Gave it a three out of six if I recall

He also wanted to get into AI/ML, so I can easily see him reading United's use of AI for denials and get even more driven.
