Palantir's CEO Alex Karp and head of corporate affairs Nicholas Zamiska published a manifesto arguing that Silicon Valley owes the U.S. a 'moral debt' and claiming some cultures are 'middling' and 'regressive and harmful.' The document, drawn from their book, also advocates reinstating the military draft and building AI weapons without resistance from protesters — positions that clash with Palantir's stated values around inclusivity, especially given the company's $30 million contract to build ICE's deportation tracking system. The manifesto has drawn alarm from tech policy critics who see it as aligning ideologically with the Trump administration while Palantir simultaneously faces congressional scrutiny over its immigration enforcement work.
