No, UnitedHealthcare didn't post job opening for CEO

There is no evidence UnitedHealthcare posted any such job listing in the days after its CEO, Brian Thompson, was murdered in New York City.

People celebrating after a Natasha Bedingfield concert are misidentified online as celebrating the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

The supposed post is fabricated and doesn't exist on Musk's account.

This video shows the Mexican president noting caravans had already stopped due to actions Mexico undertook well before Trump's tariff threat.

Musk's X profile contains no record of the post attributed to him. The image contains multiple signs that indicate it is a fabrication.

The claim originated on a Facebook account that shares satirical content but was not presented that way in the Instagram post.

The image is from February 2023 and shows Assad visiting earthquake victims in the Syrian city of Aleppo. It doesn't show him in Moscow.
