At the 2024 Reagan National Defense Forum, politicians and industry leaders discussed global threats and U.S. national defense in a time of transition. Palantir CEO Dr. Alex Karp highlighted a “legitimation crisis” in the country, where Americans no longer fully trust experts. He emphasized the need for measurement to address this crisis and restore legitimacy, suggesting that the incoming Trump administration has a “massive mandate” to do so. Dr. Karp pointed to the importance of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy in restoring legitimacy and better addressing foreign threats. He stressed the need for the U.S. to be strong and make its adversaries “scared” in order to maintain its position on the world stage. Dr. Karp’s company, Palantir, plays a role in supporting the military’s technology capabilities, with a focus on making U.S. soldiers “happier” and enemies “scared.” The conversation at the forum highlighted the importance of promoting policies to strengthen the U.S. military.
