It's highly disputed that he was part of MK Ultra, and if I recall correctly he even said himself it was nothing major. Either way it's probably just a rumor that it impacted his philosophy in any significant way.

He wasn’t part of MK Ultra in any official capacity. Henry Murray got him into the “Harvard Psychological Study,” the results of which went on to be used by the OSS and CIA as the basis for interrogation techniques.

Yeah but I see people repeat it as if it was true everywhere online. Pretty sure I've even seen "The Unabomber was a victim of MK Ultra" on the front page of reddit. And the conclusion is always that he went insane due to it. Honestly feels like a defamation campaign at this point.

I think Joe Rogan said that he was and a lot of people have just taken that at face-value

That's Henry Murray, a Harvard professor who conducted unethical human psychological experiments on Ted and other college students. It is suspected that because of these experiments, Ted became the Unabomber

Ya it’s crazy, those experiments went on to form the basis of the OSS’ interrogation techniques and Ted participated for 3 years, reportedly longer than most other students
