Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>This is the biggest sign that capitalism is very much beyond its peak. Nowadays, the largest tech companies mostly rely on State/public monies by way of military contracts to ensure that their profitability rate continues growing: Palantir, SpaceX, StarLink, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. - they are all chasing public monies </p><p>"Now Silicon Valley is coming around. Desperate not to be seen as losers, they’ve replaced virtue signaling with vice signaling. Among the Detachment 201: Executive Innovation Corps enlistees is the chief technology officer of Meta, a company that, under Mark Zuckerberg’s direction, once aimed to appear cuddly and nonthreatening but has now pivoted to wanting to appear imposing, brash, and, as Zuckerberg himself suggested, aggressively masculine.</p><p>This is the Palantir effect, and its implications extend far beyond Zuckerberg’s MAGA makeover. A new common sense is taking hold in Silicon Valley: the companies that once flamboyantly postured as social justice allies are now currying favor with Donald Trump’s administration — and welcoming criticisms along the way, taking them as a badge of honor, proof positive they’re not effete liberal pushovers. To heed public criticism is to bend the knee to the “woke,” which Karp calls “the central risk to Palantir, America and the world.”</p><p>Armed with this new anti-moral sensibility, tech is dissolving into the pulsating nexus of MAGA, crypto, combat sports, and the US military. The merger is exemplified by the list of corporate sponsors of Trump’s military parade last weekend, which included Palantir, the weapons manufacturer Lockheed Martin, the global data-mining conglomerate Oracle, the crypto platform Coinbase, and Phorm Energy, a new energy drink company created by Dana White, who is both the CEO of Ultimate Fighting Championship and a member of the Meta board."</p><p><a href="https://jacobin.com/2025/06/silicon-valley-palantir-military-trump" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jacobin.com/2025/06/silicon-va</span><span class="invisible">lley-palantir-military-trump</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Palantir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palantir</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SiliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SiliconValley</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Militarism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Militarism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a></p>
