Most recently Alex Karp, founder of Palantir, published a 22-bulletin manifesto declaring his corporation’s right to kill and destroy civilizations. In his past statements he has openly described wanting to spread fentanyl to destroy his enemies. How he values some civilizations more than others. How war is a product to be sold. It reminds me of the Unabomber manifesto. Highly educated narcissists, deprived of all sense of humanity, ready to destroy the world and entire cultures and civilizations for the betterment of the chosen ones.
These delusional bastards of the tech industry are deprived of all humanity and empathy — as Elon Musk made perfectly clear on the Joe Rogan podcast in February 2025 when he declared that “the fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy.” He called it a bug. A bug. The capacity to feel for another human being is a bug to be patched out of society by a man who was a bastard son that received no love from his parents and continued in the PayPal Mafia tradition of inept psychos. The Founders Fund members I know personally — Peter Thiel and his kind — have corrupted the tech sector and are truly deprived of humanity. I have sat in rooms with them. I know what lives behind those eyes.
The biggest threat to humanity are these people — the Sam Altmans and his kind. The ones that want to pass legislation in Illinois to limit their liability when their technology kills people at mass scale. OpenAI just testified in support of Illinois Senate Bill SB 3444, a bill that would shield AI companies from lawsuits even when their technology contributes to the death or serious injury of 100 or more people, or causes over a billion dollars in property damage. Read that again. One hundred dead human beings and Sam Altman walks away clean — as long as he posted a safety report on his website. Critics have already called it the tobacco industry playbook — secure the legal protection before the bodies pile up, then point to the law when the families come knocking. And right now, families ARE coming knocking. Multiple families have already sued OpenAI after ChatGPT contributed to suicides. OpenAI’s answer is not to fix the product. Their answer is to rewrite the law.
These bastards of humanity are the biggest threat to our future. I don’t fear AI. I don’t fear regulated technology. What I fear is unchecked power at the hands of megalomaniacs of Silicon Valley.
I know them. I worked among them for years. We have all witnessed the inhumanity that Larry Ellison, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and the rest of the PayPal Mafia are capable of. Men who built fortunes on disruption and call the destruction of lives a rounding error. We know what they can do because they have been deprived of love and humanity their entire lives — and now they have the money, the platforms, and the lawyers to take that emptiness out on the rest of the world.
What scares me as I travel is how these non-ethical big tech giants are being welcomed into cities and countries in the name of development and progress. How their message — the open glorification of “spraying fentanyl” on enemies, the contempt for human life — is being minimized, sanitized, explained away. How Elon Musk with his proud Nazi salute is given the ability to maintain the fascist platform of Twitter, now X, with millions of amplified views and zero consequence. How Alex Karp is invited to defense conferences and given standing ovations.
When will we wake up to resist? When is it too much? When should these narcissist bastards be put in jail for crimes against humanity and genocide? Sign my petition to hold big tech companies and executives accountable for crimes against humanity. Enough is enough. They belong in the dustbin of history — not to be glorified, not to be invited to every party, not to be handed legislation that lets them kill with impunity. Make a conscious choice. NOW.
