Altman attack suspect suggested ‘Luigi’ing some tech CEOs’ in online chat

The suspect accused of attempting to murder OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expressed interest in “Luigi’ing” technology leaders in an online chat late last year, referring to Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
