Palantir isn't "CIA code". Palantir received seed funding from In-Q-Tel. Don't they have fact checkers and technical consultants at Bloomberg news?

With that said, it's worth knowing that the US government tends to use established systems as vehicles for doing arbitrary things with money. So In-Q-Tel winds up investing money for any government agency that wants to do it.
So while In-Q-Tel spends what is technically always CIA money, it's very possible that it could have come from anywhere in the federal government to serve purposes that might have nothing to do with any of the CIA's goals.
