Tesla has a market capitalization of 1.22 TRILLION dollars. I don't like the guy either but you need to have a basic level of understanding of economics to offer critique, sorry.

another Redditor named Sunil as a plausible suspect after asserting a resemblance between the suspects in the FBI's pictures and Sunil, who had gone missing a month before the bombings. Although this behavior violated the subreddit's rule that prohibited naming suspects without evidence, the moderators did not delete the post.

Viral Job Ad for UnitedHealthcare CEO Replacement Is Fake "Definition of take care of yourself because that job will replace you no matter what," a top comment on TikTok said. Taija PerryCook Published Dec. 6, 2024

Claim: An image shows an authentic job posting advertising a position to replace UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Rating: Fake Fake About this rating

In the days following the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, Snopes received multiple inquiries about a viral job posting seeking to fill his position.

"United Healthcare has already posted to fill the position of the recently assassinated CEO, Brian Thompson. Is it true?" one reader wrote via email.

The initial TikTok video sharing the purported job ad, posted by user @lolbrenden, had received more than 10.9 million views as of this writing. TikTok users flooded the comments section with responses indicating they believed the claim. "Definition of take care of yourself because that job will replace you no matter what," a top comment read.

We reached out to the creator of the video and will update this story if we receive a response.

A screenshot of the alleged job posting in video spread acrossmultipleplatforms, garnering millions of views.

We looked into the claim, and found no evidence the job posting was authentic. There are a few reasons we rate this claim fake; but most importantly, we did not find any evidence UnitedHealthcare posted such an opening.

First, although the screenshot of the job posting appears in the style of a LinkedIn job advertisement, we did not find any public job posting for CEO on the site. As of this writing, the only executive position advertised was for VP of Client Insights National Accounts. There were also several discrepancies between the two images, such as the wording of "over 100 people clicked apply" (as opposed to the fake post's wording: "over 100 applicants") and the color of the words "remote" and "full-time" (the fake post's are green). Below is what an authentic LinkedIn job posting for UnitedHealthcare would look like:

Second, the advertised salary range is inaccurate. While the fake job posting says the salary for CEO ranges between $300,000 and $450,000, according to The Associated Press, Thompson's salary, bonus and stock options awards added up to $10.2 million in 2023.

Lastly, it is uncommon for companies to hire CEOs externally. According to an assessment of S&P 500 companies by The Conference Board (a nonprofit think tank), 77% of new CEOs were internal hires in 2024.

In sum, because we found no evidence of UnitedHealthcare publishing a job posting to fill Thompson's role as CEO, we rate this claim fake.
