I'd rather know what the person who shot Brian Thompson was posting, but it looks like we'll never know

did he shoot the prick or not? only question that matters.
Brian Thompson simply had a flare-up of a very unfortunate back condition. Very unfortunate. It may have been preventable.
his body just did that
Brian Thompson died of a fentanyl overdose.
It was actually Hatsune Miku

Keep checking his profile. Dude retweet loads of heinous stuff. There's barely any "left" stuff to counteract the reactionary garbage he was swallowing. Maybe in the 6ish months since he went silent and shot a CEO he changed but until there's evidence to suggest he had a change of heart he's no better than 
fuck i have to continually read a twitter???
Oh I just meant scroll down from there lol
Wait did Abe's killer have a problematic twitter?
Abe's killer was an ex-military guy who I believe he said he liked Abe, but only killed him because of Abe's links to the Korean Unification Church and because the Church scammed his mother.
He's Italian
I've posted this several times already and it seems a pretty glaring example of his position as of 2022-ish, when I believe he retweeted this
what the actual fuck, centrist position between what, Hitler and Mengele?
Dogwhistle for puberty blockers i guess

Wait this is supposed to be a negative thing huh? I thought this was a dunk on Elon Musk tbh, saying that we will rip the system down and build socialism from the ground up, but I suppose this is a criticism of people who want to do that. Now that I'm rereading it it's clear that this was supposed to be a takedown of the left and not the right. Forgive me for not reading through one man's entire Twitter history.
of his position as of 2022-ish
The OG tweet is from march this year. Xcancel would show 2022 if it was that old.
I don't understand how this is racist or transphobic or what?
The guy retweeting Elon is not being critical of his views. He agrees with everything Musk said and is simply adding that it’s a shame not everybody agrees. Luigi retweeted support for Elon’s tweet that is laden with dog whistles.
The guy retreating musk does seem to be critical of his position?
I think I read it the same way as you the first time around. I was distracted by this, which sounds to be in contradiction to Musk and arguing a more reasonable, if lib, position:
what you call the "woke mind virus" cares about one thing: equality
On third glance I see that the next line is the point of the thing:
The levelers want to destroy everything because in the rubble we'll all be equal.
It is the opposite sentiment of "a rising tide lifts all boats". That an ambition towards equality will inevitably sink all to a lowest common denominator.
I also got distracted by mention of "the levelers" which is being used derisively here, not in a positive sense. And because the language is somewhat reminiscent of some left slogans such as "a new world in the shell of the old" I mis understood it.
So I am compelled to agree with @Sulvor that it's shitty.

“Your commitment to long term civilizational success, Elon, is not universally shared”
He thinks the stuff Elon is talking about are required for society to progress. If he’s at all critical, it’s from a position that Elon isn’t going far enough.

Asking about Luigi is tailism
Posting tails is luigism
He reposted anti-woke/anti-DEI content in a post-affirmative action Amerika. As a result, he earns the same benefit of the doubt as a full-on british-descent Anglo-Saxon gets out of me: none at fucking all.
He's an opp, so is everyone still making excuses for him, especially that wannabe concentration camp guard motherfucker.
Part of a post of mine from another thread:
Maybe it is possible for someone to change in the span of two years; but the entire reason I don't give that benefit of the doubt is because putting that faith in the wrong one gets folk like me killed or worse. Maybe someone can hairpin in that short a timespan, but I genuinely wouldn't be able to believe it without a substantial receipt of their works in the time that they claim to have changed.
The only work I've seen out of him is personally-motivated revenge killing. This is not enough for me to consider his uplifting. I'm not even sure how much I like the concept he temporarily embodied anymore, knowing how it emerged.

???
Overall I agree with you I think. Just because someone could change in 2 years doesn't mean this person did, and until there is a reason to think that happened, it's just fan fic. It reminds me of conversations around Me Too where there's an argument about whether or not anyone can ever "come back" after perpetrating by apologizing, making amends, reparative justice etc. The discussion is irrelevant because none of these people ever even attempt to do so.
Likewise any discussion of what this guy might be secretly thinking is irrelevant and boring. Fan fic pls go to archiveofourown.org

I'm also interested in this line of thought. When the assassination first happened everyone was hypothesizing that the killer would be upset about the suffering/death of a family member or something. Which would still be a revenge killing. But I have to admit when I heard it was about himself I found it a bit less... admirable.
Also am a bit confused given that his family is so wealthy, was insurance really the limiting factor for anything? Like the fact about back problems is a lot of them are kind of intractable. it's just a shitty thing about human bodies. Money isn't the issue. I've known people who bear decades-long grudges against doctors who refused them surgery or medications for such problems when the truth of the matter is that those treatments were unlikely to have been helpful and carried risk. I almost feel like a surgeon could just as easily have been the target of the attack given the available information.
the Richard Dawkins one was really transphobic, I'll try to dig that one up in a sec
...I can't find it

Idk about transphobia. But he said some really weird shit about Japanese people which didn't even make any fucking sense, and pretty sure he used the same racist anti-immigration talking points that far-right people have being using since the 1940's.
"Japan Real Hole" 
Metric fuckload of problematic retweets, basically
I found Luigi's transphobic Richard Dawkins meme retweet. It also bags on DEI
