All the people praising Luigi say "this does nothing" when someone suggests an alternative to just shooting CEOs. Well you know what did nothing? Shooting Brian Thompson did nothing. United Health Group just hired a new CEO to run his division, and the real oligarchs continued looting the country even harder than before.
So no, they don't feel threatened. The top oligarchs like Elon barely even registered it. If you wanna know what they're afraid of, look at where they spend money - buying politicians and opposing attempts to regulate them and break up their monopolies. Lucky for them there is no well funded lobby for consumers, people denied health care, or even the poor and middle class generally. Tell the next Luigi to work on that if you really wanna scare these people.

Elon admitted to Jon Rogan a week or two ago that he's using his kid as a human shield to protect himself from an assassin.

Actually, mob justice and dying actually does scare them. It's the one thing they can't just buy their way out of.
The very rising sentiment of Luigi Magione being a good man is the real threat, because before the October revolution, they realized that proletariat class was able to rise against the bourgeoisie. Is a revolution imminent? Maybe, it’s not completely certain. But we definitely will see true leftism in the rise.
BCBS reversed their decision to not cover anesthesia like a day after Thompson got deposed. It turns out direct action is actually effective
One of several reasons it did nothing is that most Americans aren't interested in action. Luigi is. I don't think his is the only action or even the best, but if other people were taking action it would be a lot more effective.
His goal wasn't to make sure the CEO of United Healthcare stopped harming people.

they were quick to quash the news around luigi, hence the momentum kinda died down, social media and MSM worked hard to turn the tide back to culture wars.
Witty is the head CEO of UHC, and hemsely is the Chairman of the group. Witty doesnt even care, in fact hes elated because they were all being investigated for insider trading, and thompson is a threat to the whole company because he can turn on them in a dime.
