Given the leading role played by Joe Lonsdale in the foundation of the University of Austin, that institution's rapid transformation into a neo-McCarthyite indoctrination camp was sadly predictable.

>> Was UATX a hard-right project from the start? Based on my reporting, I don’t think it was. I was struck by the sincerity of the commitment to free speech and open inquiry from so many of the people with whom I spoke. A few were Trump supporters, but many more were best identified as anti-woke moderates or liberals. The university’s saga has a strong sense of historical contingency — that it could have gone quite differently had some high-leverage moments gone otherwise. <<
I disagree.
Although some of the names associated with the project at its beginnings might have had a sincere commitment to free inquiry, the presence of the billionaire technofascist Lonsdale as a founder and funder of this venture meant that it was always going to be nothing more than a right wing training camp.

So there truly is no "merit" basis to Silicon Valley VC culture just smoldering racism that these billionaires can hardly keep to themselves.
It truly doesn't matter if people are communists or even capitalist to the Palantir founders, they are gleeful to be the digital boot on your neck.
So after these direct interactions with Lonsdale I'm deeply unsurprised by his latest statements and the companies overall role in Zionist genocide in Gaza.

After I published the above blog post about Joe's racist screed I started getting phone calls from CNBC, Tech Crunch and Forbes.
The latter two interviewed us and wrote stories. The first one actually had the story get killed by an editor with the stated reason given to me by the reporter being that "management doesn't allow negative press for Joe"

Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale the day after the attacks on Venezuela was seen bragging that Palantir was founded to kill ALL communists.
Now I hope people notice how this company has become part of the ICE and general law enforcement toolset.
And remember, according to Joe the company was founding to kill all "commies"

i guess "god's wrath will throw fire upon the sodomites" is what passes for a #libertarian take in 2025, because this is one of the main guys trying to build the #NetworkState.
(he's the CEO of #Praxis, "the world's first digital nation" that's funded by a lot of the crypto bros including Peter Thiel, #Balaji, Joe Lonsdale, the #Winklevoss twins, #Paradigm (big crypto fund), a #Worldcoin guy, and a bunch of others). cc: @gilduran.com @gilduran

My guess is that the "sort of powerful person in the university" is none other than Joe Lonsdale himself.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @Steve @Lurkle yeah. #JoeLonsdale is an even worse version of #PeterThiel.
at least thiel doesn't tweet.

These men became the nucleus of the #tech industry’s #MAGA mafia, & in recent months, quite a few more have joined them. They don’t represent a majority in #SiliconValley, but they are a high-profile minority. Some, like #JoeLonsdale, are members of #Thiel’s extended network & long committed to the cause. Lonsdale, who was editor of The StanfordReview & interned at #PayPal, has used some of the fortune he built as a founder of #Palantir to create a conservative think tank…

#VenalUtopias ?
> Lonsdale helped found #Palantir —a data analytics company that contracts with Amazon, ICE, and the CIA—with #PeterThiel in 2004, and he currently leads #8VC , a venture capital firm that invests in AI, defense, and biomedicine. (If it’s not already obvious, Thiel—Gen X’s very own Charles Koch—is in league with many of #UATX’s members: he mentored Lonsdale, champions #Hanania, and has spoken on #BariWeiss’s podcast.)
