The keys: perhaps the dependence on Palantir is the lesser of the problems

Palantir is a controversial company, and it knows it. It sells, among other things, mass surveillance software that has been used by agencies such as ICE. One of its founders is Peter Thiel, a Trump donor, weaver of unusual libertarian projects, and author of several controversies. The company's CEO, Alex Karp, has tried to counter that controversy, with decreasing success, and has defined himself as a left-wing man for years.

In a letter to shareholders, he has just attributed “nuances and Marxist connotations” to his business.
