    oh awesome, Palantir, the same company profiting off the genocide in Gaza

    CEO Alex Karp has been a vocal supporter of Israel. In November 2023, he stated, “I am proud that we are supporting Israel in every way we can.”

    After October 2023, Palantir has provided Israel with multiple AI-powered data analytics tools for military and intelligence purposes.

    In January 2024, Palantir held its board meeting in Israel and entered into a “strategic partnership” with Israel’s Ministry of Defense to help Israel’s “war effort.”

    In October 2024, Norway’s largest asset manager, Storebrand, divested its Palantir shares, worth $24 million, due to concerns that Palantir’s work for Israel might implicate Storebrand in violations of international humanitarian law and human rights.

    If we don’t build these apps then someone far worse probably will. Therefore it’s better if we make the apps that allow untrained monkeys to find and execute people on US soil because at least we’ll do it right… ya know?

    Palantir 2026… probably.

      My brother is a total Palintir supporter because he sees his stocks rising. I tell him he’s supporting evil but he says their CEO is a Democrat and has nothing to do with Thiel🙄. Like most Americans he’s ok with evil if it pays well.

        If you did and held for say 30-40 years you would have an amazing return on investment.

        Funny how a government can fail, but the corporations keep going

    Seems like Doge might have been setup to facilitate this. They are cross referencing data from the HHS database. Big Brother.

      The actual point of DOGE was to just backdoor and/or datadump as many government databases as possible and give them to Palantir. That’s it. That was the entire point. Everything else was simply theatrics.

    That whole “look how quirky and cool Alex Karp is” pr nonsense was BS from the start.
