I think the GN crew appeal to a specific subset of technically proficient, pragmatic people who won't believe bullshit but are otherwise mostly just chill, and Steve is widely thought of as one of the last 'good ones' out there in a scene taking a rapid turn towards the dystopic.
There will be a lot of people who won't believe for a second if Steve drops any time soon. And say what you will about Luigi's motivations, his education and means did seem to help make his planning and execution good enough to be a threat to even powerful individuals. I think radicalizing even a small portion of that large group of intelligent individuals with enough money to buy expensive equipment to believe that you are evil beyond a doubt might be just scary enough to keep him safe.
I don't think that Karp can think that far ahead. Maybe Thiel, but Karp will order someone's assiniation the first time Palantir has a contract not be renewed.
If I was tasked with taking him down, I would honeypot him with a 17 year old girl. No need unalive him when I can get him labeled as worse than Hitler for exchanging words.
He is going to commit "suicide". Karp and Thiel have no morals.

Not sure they'll view it as worth the trouble but, yes, his life is in more danger than it was before he released those videos. Which is insane.
And these psychos are the ones who want even more control of my country come next election.
