Current and former Palantir employees have expressed concerns about the company's "descent into fascism," particularly following the company's involvement in the Trump administration's crackdowns on civil liberties and immigrants. Internal discord intensified during Trump's second term as Palantir expanded its role in immigration enforcement and deportation efforts with the Department of Homeland Security. The controversy escalated when the company published a manifesto summary from CEO Alex Karp's book "The Technological Republic," which critics characterized as a "hideous ideology" and "example of technofascism."
