Luigi Mangione, named by New York police as a suspect in the recent murder of a health insurance executive, is drawing attention due to his controversial online persona. The 26-year-old Ivy League graduate is known for his critical views on technology, social media, and corporate America, views that are evident across his social media profiles.
