In a post on the company’s X account that has racked up 32 million views, Palantir laid out a 22-point manifesto drawn from The Technological Republic: Hard Power, Soft Belief, and the Future of the West, coauthored by CEO Alex Karp and head of corporate affairs Nicholas Zamiska.

One of the document’s core arguments is that Silicon Valley owes a “moral debt” to the country that made its rise possible. The “engineering elite,” the manifesto argues, have spent decades building obsession-driven apps and social media platforms while failing to contribute substantially to the defense industry that is essential “to preserve the enduring yet fragile geopolitical advantage that the United States and its allies in Europe and elsewhere have retained over their adversaries.”
