Some Palantir employees are worried about ‘reputational damage’ over the company’s work for Trump.
Palantir has received more than $113 million in federal funds since Trump took office and is reportedly discussing potential contracts with the Social Security Administration and the IRS. The ubiquity of Palantir’s tech within federal agencies may help Trump achieve his goal of creating a master database allowing administration officials to access data on nearly anyone in the US.
Employees are “raising questions internally” about Palantir’s contracts, one former engineer said. Some are worried about the implications of collecting so much data on Americans.
