Carla Ibled

Carla Ibled is a research fellow at the University of Durham, known for her critical analysis of the intersection between technology and political structures. In recent discussions, she highlighted how tech entrepreneurs like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel embody the 'founder' archetype, representing a shift towards a model of governance that challenges traditional democratic ideals. Ibled argues that this shift can create a personality cult around these tech figures, raising concerns about the implications for public consent and democratic legitimacy.
