The guy who was killed, with annual compensation of $10M, is one of the richest and most powerful people in the country? There are FAANG ICs making more than that.
Do those FAANG ICs set policy for the largest healthcare company in the world? I don’t know why you’re so committed to trying to dismiss the idea that the policies his company sets have produced many angry customers but it’s not unreasonable for people to think that a CEO has some control over policy in a way that those ICs at adtech companies do not.
The shooter is from one of the richest families in Maryland and is richer than the guy he shot. His cousin is a state congressman.
There may be a few IC's who make that amount but they do not wield nearly the same amount of power as the CEO of one of the largest healthcare companies in the country.
