First off, how is Palantir "cash rich"? A look at their financials they're losing money just like all the other shit startups on the NYSE.
I guess it doesn't matter how much cash you're bleeding if the underlying product (the company) is increasing in value.
Total liabilities increased too.
It's not clear if the incoming administration will give them the same federal contracts the current administration has.
Bad things happen when you have parties involved in an idea that aren't directly working on that idea, coupled with lots of money.
We've all seen this movie 1,000 times before.
As far as I can tell he is not GitHub nor HackerNews, nor does he know how to code, which I think would make someone quite unqualified for that position.
Again though, maybe he's a nice person. Just to me from the outside looks like a Palantir puppet.
