A melted community of stock pumpers and meme-makers obsessed with Palantir, the company founded by Peter Thiel and nursed to maturity by the CIA. In this episode we explore the history of Palantir including its work with ICE, the military industrial complex and various police forces. Then we dive into the PLTR subreddit where people are worshiping Alex Karp, the company's CEO, and encouraging others to invest in a company known for mass surveillance and using AI to enhance drone assassinations. Our guest is Katie Notopoulos, who wrote an article for Fast Company titled "How Palantir stock developed a weird, passionate, meme-crazy fan base".
