Palantir boss is intent on destroying democracy with the help of his thuggy friends in government, writes Robert Reich today. CEO Alex Karp said on recent earnings call “…when it’s necessary,...scare enemies and on occasion kill them.” Among other things, he’s trying to dismantle Social Security, civil rights, and even women’s right to vote.

Reich goes on, “If America learned anything from the first Gilded Age and the fascism that grew like a cancer in the 1930s, it should have been that gross inequalities of income and wealth fuel abuses of political power — as Trump, Musk, Thiel, Karp, and other oligarchs have put on full display — which in turn generate strongmen who destroy both democracy and freedom.”
