Palantir moves headquarters to Miami and joins growing tech exodus to Florida
NY Post ^ | 02/17/2026 | Taylor Herzlich

Posted on 02/17/2026 2:17:48 PM PST by DFG

Palantir announced Tuesday it has moved its headquarters from Denver to Miami – joining a slew of tech firms fleeing to South Florida as a growing number of industry leaders deem it the new Silicon Valley.

Tech giants have been increasingly flocking to Florida from business hubs like New York and California in pursuit of lower taxes, warm weather and safer neighborhoods.

“We have moved our headquarters to Miami, Florida,” Palantir wrote in a brief post on X Tuesday morning.

The company did not immediately respond to inquiries about its reason for the move.

Palantir was founded in Palo Alto, Calif., in 2003 and moved to Denver in 2020 as its CEO Alex Karp emerged as a vocal critic of Silicon Valley’s culture.

Former Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, who has long pushed for tech talent to move to Florida, cheered Tuesday’s “watershed moment for Miami.”

“This is the tipping point!” he wrote on X, using numerous exclamation points.

The Post has sought comment from Palantir.

Citadel’s Ken Griffin and real estate magnate Stephen Ross – some of the highest-profile billionaires to move to South Florida during the pandemic – recently launched a $10 million campaign to encourage business leaders to move to the Sunshine State, The Post reported.

“The only place a CEO or founder can scale from 10 employees to 10,000 will be in South Florida,” Ross previously told The Post. “While other cities are still special, they no longer support building business and supporting ambition like you can find here.”

The campaign targets CEOs and investors with national ads and direct outreach, as well as a dedicated concierge program that can help executives relocate operations and navigate state regulations.

Moving , perhaps, in anticipation of a future Colorado wealth tax similar to that which is currently a looming threat in California.

All of these tech companies and their relocation packages are bringing in thousands of progressive voters.

The locusts are swarming.

That state is going to turn blue faster than you can spell the word. These tech companies are no good, no good at all. I don’t care which one you’re talking about.

Loaded up to the max with nose ringers and blue hairs and Obama voters. That is what they are.

Red states are failing to protect themselves from relocation packages.

It’s pretty messed up that it doesn’t register in these employees’ minds that the reason for the move is because of the policies they were voting for, and they would have the same destructive effect if brought to the new place, just as they did in the old place.

I don’t think Republicans in Florida or Texas or Tennessee are worried. I guess we shall see.

When I lived there the most popular bumper sticker 50 years ago in Colorado was...
“DON’T CALIFORNICATE COLORADO!”

Well, it has been and they are moving in on New Mexico.

You've got a big mouth unconnected to a brain.

Do some research before talking.

Look at what Palantir CEO Alex Karp has said about the U.S.

Or better yet, just STFU.

Are there two companies with the name Palintir? I thought they were a defense contractor that make cruise missles.

These progressives roll into a state, take over it’s political system, install lunatics as elected officials, run the state into the ground and then flee the state after the state becomes unworkable and unlivable

Texas is in the process of being screwed up and now Florida is in their sights as the next place

“All of these tech companies and their relocation packages are bringing in thousands of progressive voters.”

More Yankees are something anyone would worry about.

That said, since 2016 Florida voter registration has completely flipped from blue to red. Republicans are now ahead in the Gunshine State by over one million registered voters; almost solid red.

That is due, in part, because Florida is getting the best of the worst - Yankee refuges running for their lives and scared to death.

Another thing about Yankees: they are greener than citrus and twice as easy to pick.
