Palantir is the absolute scum of the information world. Tech with promise, but used in the worst kind of ways.
What kind of ways, can you explain?

From what I can tell he idolizes Saruman.
apparently he is known to have his own island of f---boys. and his boy toy bf last year got mysteriously defenestrated in florida(they alleged suicide, but it seems highly suspicious especially the bf was complainig about the anti-lgbtq+ stance of thiel)
he also named his other companies, various LOTR themes too. anduril, lembas,,,etc.
