A warehouse worker, Chamel Abdulkarim, 29, sparked an anti-capitalist backlash after he filmed himself burning inventory in a warehouse and compared himself to the accused murderer of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. He was arrested and charged with aggravated arson, causing more than $10 million in damages, and six counts of arson. Thomas Zeitzoff, a professor at American University's School of Public Affairs, believes there is a growing backlash against wealthy elites, particularly tech, due to a deep unease and growing skepticism about the tech industry's power and influence. He also suggests that the anti-wealth movement, anti-technology sentiment, and the online memeifcation of people like individuals like Luigi Mangioni may be behind these attacks. Two days after the warehouse fire, Daniel Moreno-Gama, 20, is accused of attempting to firebomb the home of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in San Francisco, where he described his plans to kill him and other potential AI leaders.
