Palantir, the US data and intelligence software firm, published a 22-point manifesto on X over the weekend calling for American military supremacy, the reinstatement of a military draft, and predicting a future dominated by autonomous AI weapons — while suggesting some cultures are "dysfunctional and regressive." The statement drew sharp condemnation from British MPs, who called it "the ramblings of a supervillain" and "a parody of a RoboCop film," intensifying scrutiny of Palantir's more than £500 million in UK government contracts, which include a £330 million deal with the NHS as well as agreements with the police and Ministry of Defence. Several lawmakers are now calling on the government to exit those contracts, arguing the company's ideology makes it unfit to handle sensitive public data.
