Billionaire tech-bros should not be Lieutenant Colonels in our military
3 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!
Why is Congress permitting Shayam Sankar, the CTO of Palantir (Peter Thiel’s company), Andrew Bosworth, the CTO of Meta (Mark Zuckerberg’s company), and OpenAI’s chief product officer Kevin Weil and former chief research officer Bob McGrew (Sam Altman's company) be sworn in as Lieutenant Colonels in our military? This should not be!!
These men are going to work on “targeted projects to help guide rapid and scalable tech solutions to complex problems.” A sentence that means absolutely nothing because clearly this is just a way of giving these companies access to top-secret information without them having to go through any pesky background checks. How does that not scare the crap out of you? How do you sit and watch that happen?
Palantir is already building a massive centralized database using much of the information they acquired from DOGE, the result of techbro Elon Musk’s disaster-for-us experience in the our government.
These billionaire tech-bros are compiling lists of our most sensitive information. Our tax records, medical data, bank accounts, Social Security information, immigration status, etc. This administration is allowing them to build the infrastructure for techno-feudalism. Authoritarianism in the form of data and surveillance.
STOP THEM!!
It is a horrifying and blatant conflict of interest that harms the safety and security of all Americans. There should not be this much overlap between private tech and the US government, certainly not between private tech and the US military.
STOP THEM!!
