Sharp Crypto Edge Signals
Alright, let's get one thing straight: the ties between Palantir, Peter Thiel, and JD Vance are raising eyebrows for good reason. We're not talking about a casual lunch date here; we're talking about power, money, and potentially, a whole lotta surveillance. And frankly, it stinks.
So, Vance rejects claims he's "closely linked" to Palantir at some young conservative gathering? Give me a break. Thiel bankrolled his Senate campaign to the tune of $15 million! And Vance used to work at Thiel's investment firm! That's not a "link," that's freakin' Velcro. It’s like saying you’re not “closely linked” to your Siamese twin.
It's always the same story, isn't it? These Silicon Valley types think they can buy their way into anything. And honestly, they usually can. Vance was supposed to be the guy who connected Silicon Valley donors with the campaign, and surprise, surprise, Palantir ads started popping up at Trump and Vance events. Coincidence? I think not.
And what about Roger Stone mentioning Palantir as the country's "biggest concern" after Vance asks about it? What's that about? Is Stone just being his usual conspiratorial self, or is there something genuinely rotten brewing under the surface? I'm leaning towards the latter.
Palantir claims they don't sell data, engage in data mining, or operate as a surveillance company. Right. And I'm the Queen of England. They were founded with support from US intelligence agencies for crying out loud! They work with federal departments, police agencies, foreign militaries, and private firms! What do they think we are, stupid?
Steve Bannon compared Palantir to a science fiction threat. Joe Rogan called them "creepy." Laura Loomer accused them of trying to infiltrate the Trump administration. Even comedian Theo Von is worried! That's a bipartisan freak-out if I've ever seen one.
Then you have Palantir's CEO, Alex Karp, who supported Kamala Harris before the election but then magically donated $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC after the election. What kind of game is that? Makes you wonder what exactly he's playing at...
I mean, the company makes boatloads of money off government contracts. Their government work grew under Trump and also under Biden. They’re playing both sides! And with that Army contract worth up to $10 billion, they're basically printing money. But at what cost?
Trump's executive order asking agencies to share data only added fuel to the fire. Palantir thrives on data, and the more data they have, the more powerful they become. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy of surveillance capitalism. Vance himself said a speech by Thiel at Yale shaped his views. These guys are drinking the same Kool-Aid, and it's not good for the rest of us.
And let's not forget Palantir’s support for things like immigration enforcement. They’re not just crunching numbers; they’re actively shaping policy and impacting lives.
Palantir’s stock (PLTR) has been a volatile ride, and offcourse, everyone’s looking for the next Nvidia (NVDA) or Tesla (TSLA). But is chasing profits worth selling our souls to a data-hungry behemoth?
Look, I'm not saying Palantir is Skynet. But I am saying we need to be damn careful about the power they wield and the people who are in their pocket.

It’s not about whether Palantir stock price will go up or down. It’s about the kind of world we want to live in. Do we want to be constantly watched, analyzed, and manipulated? Or do we want to retain some semblance of privacy and freedom? The answer should be obvious, but these days, nothing is.
