His entire ideology revolves around a leader fixing things along with grand themes of technology, revolution and apocalypse, and he founded Palantir, a big-data surveillance defense company named after the seeing-stones of The Lord of the Rings. He keeps talking about the world like he is some kind of God leading us to salvation. He is posing as a visionary, and he is considered by many a return of an ancient form of power, a monarchic, feudal character.

I think he is more like a buzzword generator trying to destroy our democratic institutions for fun. I think he plans to become a warlord, prophet, king or something equally stupid in the climate chaos, though he is already 54, so we have that going for us. He plans to live forever, because buzzwords, but that's not going to happen. I don't think he would do well without his wealth either, he is not that charismatic or smart. He only meant to thrive on exploiting our world, he is the very product of our late-stage capitalism. His contrarianism is the antithesis of the rationalism and humanism that brought much of the advancements we enjoy today regarding human dignity, rights, ethics and laws, even politics. We don't enjoy them universally, and we won't enjoy them continually, but that's no reason to give up on them.
