Alex Karp (CEO of Palantir) was aligned with the Clintons and had discussions about working with the Clinton campaign:

I worked at a small Beltway Bandit-style federal contracting firm. The CEO bragged to me that he was the Democrat and his wife was the Republican in their relationship. His wife gave to Republican candidates. He gave to Democrat candidates. Through their duplicitous actions they could be assured they always had a seat at the table, but had plausible deniability that they were apolitical mercenaries just buying a seat at the table. My point, money is what most of these politicians actually care about.

Why “amazing”? They’re arms dealers, selling your privacy to both sides. It ensures the product is in demand, and makes it more desirable.

And children have the same beliefs and motivations as their parents? What reason do we have to believe that Sophie executes her father's will or even agrees with his views on various issues? She has a career and life of her own, I'd wager.

It's pretty common for people to play both sides so as to be ingratiated to whomever wins.

Their CFO, Ruth Porat, publicly wept at the weekly company meeting when Clinton lost. Google also heavily censored their otherwise automatic search autocomplete so it doesn’t bring up negative suggestions for HRC. No such courtesy was afforded to Trump. Bing, to their credit, did not censor either.
