I urge you to publicly denounce Palantir Technologies' 22-point manifesto and pledge to remove the company from all government contracts. This weekend, Palantir CEO Alex Karp released a summary of his book that openly advocates for extreme and dangerous ideologies. Karl’s manifesto reveals Palantir's true priorities—and they are deeply troubling. Key points demand your immediate attention: - AI Weapons Development: This philosophy prioritizes corporate profit over ethical weapons development. - Mandatory Military Draft: Pushing for reinstating conscription places the burden on ordinary Americans while billionaires escape responsibility. - Attack on Democracy: This is an explicit rejection of democratic values like diversity and inclusion. - Extremist Ideology: Karp advocates for "AI-powered killer robots." This is completely unacceptable. - Current Harms: Palantir already operates surveillance systems for ICE that have enabled immigration enforcement and helped identify deportation targets. Its software powers military targeting systems used in operations in Iran and beyond. A company this ideologically extreme should never wield this much power over our government, military, and law enforcement. Palantir's leadership has abandoned any pretense of neutral technology—they are now openly advocating for authoritarian policies and anti-democratic values. I call on you to: - Publicly denounce Palantir's manifesto - Pledge to terminate all Palantir contracts with our government - Support legislation restricting AI weapons development Our democracy depends on holding corporations accountable. Palantir has shown its true colors. I expect you to act.
