ALBAWABA - UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect, Luigi Mangione is once again the talk of social media since the individual is now verified on Musk's X (formerly known as Twitter) with a blue checkmark making his account viable for revenue.
According to the BBC, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione was taken into custody after being spotted by a customer at a McDonald's chain in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Local police reported that Mangione was found in possession of a 3D-printed ghost gun and a letter specifying "motivation and mindset."
The 26-year-old was charged with murder and four other counts.
UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was found dead two weeks ago outside a Hilton hotel in Manhattan after an unknown man fatally shot him several times in the back.

X users took to several comment sections debating the matter to speculate how Mangione's account was verified. Many suspected that an unknown user gifted the blue checkmark to Mangione since the 26-year-old suspect couldn't have done it himself, as he's in jail.
Other users claimed that if someone reaches a specific amount of verified followers on Musk's X, the account gets verified itself but that has proven to be false according to X's official website.
The website states that "Only accounts actively subscribed to X Premium are eligible to receive the blue checkmark."
On the other hand, X does have the option for users to gift fellow accounts on the platform:
