NEW YORK — Big Tech is bowing to a bruising midterms that saw Democrats successfully use Silicon Valley as a foil.
Nowhere is that hard pivot more on display than with Alex Karp, the CEO and co-founder of secretive tech giant Palantir, which bet massively on Trump 2.0 and became an administration darling in the process.

Yeah, yeah, unlike your Dad DJTrump is not the Gawd you wanted him to be.
Jeesus. What a child.
Trump knows AI is the fourth Industrial Revolution and used these guys to push the AI buildout before China owns it.
Palentir is the only company that does certain things the government and military needs - their prodcuts were used in DOGE to find fraud and abuse, the SBA also used Palentir to find billions in fraudulent loans.
opposition to data centers was nothing but a China psyop that worked.
