Journalist Gil Duran argues in his new book, "The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy," that major tech companies and their leaders have aligned with fascist ideologies and movements. Duran contends that figures like Elon Musk and companies such as Palantir, Meta, Google, Apple, Amazon, and OpenAI are steering the world towards their own extreme visions, often characterized by a belief in technological supremacy and a disregard for democratic principles. He cites examples such as Palantir's praise for AI weapons, Musk's ban of Duran from X for criticizing Palantir's manifesto, and the alignment of tech leaders with political movements like Donald Trump's Make America Great Again.
