Get fucked palantir
Their P/E is in the 600s. Arguably the most overpriced company by market cap in the country right now. Like, more than three times worse than Tesla.
They would have to fall a long, long way before they were in the ballpark of "getting fucked"
Could the bubble be finally bursting?
Palantir is a mass surveillance company~~, not an AI company like the article suggests. They are those black cameras and solar panels you see popping up on every inch of road across the country. They track your every movement, logging license plates and car descriptions. Then they make it available to any highschool bully with a badge.~~
EDIT: Whoops, I confused them with Flock. Palantir is still a mass surveillance company that does shady stuff for the government, but they aren't the car cameras.
You may be thinking of Flock.
Whoops, thanks for the correction! Fuck both of them.
God I hope so, Thiel seems to be shifting all his money to crypto (of course after Palantir already secured billions in contracts for AI) but public opinion seems to be finally acknowledging how over hyped it's been.
I just always question when the narratives being pushed suddenly changes so abruptly without much pushback. It just happens so often and always seems to follow the same predictable Thiel pattern. All we've heard for the past 8 months is that AI is this inevitable future, and we have to stop fighting progress. Now suddenly it feels like "ok we've safely moved our money somewhere else, so it's ok to go back to acknowledging the reality of AI now."
As always, Thiel has his very blameworthy public scapegoat set up (this time it's Alex Karp). Honestly makes me wonder out of curiosity, what would happen if anyone really put effort into getting a narrative going critiquing known issues with cryptocurrency.
If I had the knowledge, I would love to start an ETF to short publicly traded companies run by assholes and douchebags. Similar to inverse REITs for real estate. It would probably lose money spectacularly, I admit, but I would still run it out of pure spite.
The PLTR bubble, maybe. You got plenty of big tech with decent PEs that won’t suffer dramatic sell offs.
I guess some press is bad press, lol.
Get fucked, traitors!
Fuck Palantir, but this is a ridiculous article. Palantir is up more than 4x im the past year. A 15% drop is absolutely nothing in the face of that
Their stock price also doesn't matter too much. The majority of their revenue is from the government, in exchange for spying on citizens. They'll be around as long as the government keeps them around (which seems a guarantee with the current admin)
Always thought the name was a bit too on the nose.
Palantir can go fuck itself and report to Five Eyes about the experience!
We should keep this company under a cloth. We can't be sure who might be looking back.
