## Resource

Nick Clegg, former Meta executive who stepped down in March 2025 amid the rise of Trump’s second term, warns that Silicon Valley giants—including Meta—are increasingly embracing “Maga politics” for strategic, not ideological, reasons. He also criticizes the UK’s reliance on Palantir, calling its ideology troubling and warning of dangerous dependency, even as Palantir defends its role in healthcare innovation and claims governments can easily exit its systems. Clegg sees AI as the next big disruptor, poised to challenge and potentially replace Palantir’s dominance—despite its current AI integration. His Meta tenure, marked by navigating scandals like Cambridge Analytica and building content moderation systems, gives him a unique insider’s view of tech’s shifting power dynamics.
