New York, March 19, 2025 – The official X account of Luigi Mangione, the man accused of the high-profile killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has been deactivated, as reported by Pop Flop on Wednesday at 6:41 p.m. ET. The move has sparked widespread speculation and renewed attention on Mangione, who has become a polarizing figure in recent months.

The deactivation of Mangione’s X account, previously verified and active under the handle @pepmangione, was confirmed by Pop Flop with images showing an error message stating, “Something went wrong. Try again.” It remains unclear whether Mangione or his representatives deactivated the account or if X took action due to platform policies or public pressure. Earlier reports, including from theJasmineBRAND, noted the account’s brief deactivation and subsequent reactivation in December 2024, only to now appear permanently offline.

There is no right to have an account. Especially if you have an account in an authocratic website/country. You can be fired/deleted/silenced at will without any right for reinstatement. Therefore X and FB or other can and will never be the spearhead of a movement in any country, if it can be take away at the blink of an eye in arbitrariness. Who is curious and wants to follow certain streams in our society, you need to inform yourself on where and how. That is work and takes ambition. People losely following on X for updates on how proceed will always be tourists. The Revolution will not be televised. The next steps by the underground will never be aired on TV or X. If you still think you could use Whatsapp and Facebook to fight the system only has a shallow understanding of the goals. I do understand that public plattforms have reach and therefore are a good start for grassrooting of public opionions, but as you can see, it does not scale over time. If you are invested in the resistance and care for the topic, you need to search other places to communicate what is undesired to discuss. If all it takes, to lose your strings, is to delete an X account to bringt you back to shrugging "Nothing we can do", you never were invested in the first place. But if you read this text on [email protected], you probably are already aware of this.
