Palantir:

The All-Seeing Eye

How a Silicon Valley Company Became the Digital Brain of the West

"Our products are used, occasionally, to kill people." - Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir Technologies

If you were asked to name the most powerful men on the planet, you'd probably mention Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg. Perhaps Jensen Huang, the NVIDIA CEO who brought his company past $5 trillion in market cap riding the artificial intelligence wave. But there's one name you probably wouldn't say: Alex Karp.

"Our products are used, occasionally, to kill people."

Read it again. This isn't a quote taken out of context, nor an accusation from a hostile journalist. It's the CEO of Palantir Technologies, Alex Karp, describing his company's business with casual nonchalance.

In an era where we ask ourselves whether technology should serve people or the other way around, Palantir has already chosen and you won't like the answer.

Unruly curly hair, rimless glasses, white t-shirt under expensive jackets. He doesn't look like your typical Silicon Valley CEO. Yet this man, with a philosophy doctorate earned in Germany, leads a company that supplies software to the Pentagon, the CIA, the FBI, the Israeli armed forces, and is building what critics call a digital panopticon for the age of artificial intelligence.

That company is called Palantir Technologies. And if you've never heard of it, that's exactly what its founders want.

1. The Lord of the Rings of Silicon Valley

1.1 The Name Is No Coincidence

For those who've read Tolkien, the name "Palantír" sounds familiar. In the Lord of the Rings universe, the palantíri are indestructible seeing-stones, instruments through which one can view past and future events, communicate across distances, gather information. A perfect intelligence tool but also dangerous: in the wrong hands, like those of Saruman or Denethor, the palantír becomes an instrument of manipulation and control.

The name choice isn't accidental. In 2003, Peter Thiel, PayPal co-founder and future first external investor in Facebook, decided that a palantír's capabilities could be replicated in the real world. Not in Middle-earth, but in our Earth. And he founded a company called, precisely, Palantir.

Thiel's Tolkien obsession permeates every aspect of the company:

LocationTolkien NamePalo Alto (California)The ShireMcLean (Virginia)RivendellWashington D.C.Minas Tirith

Thiel himself sits on the boards of funds called Valar Ventures and Mithril Capital, the latter employed a young Ohio lawyer named J.D. Vance, now Vice President of the United States.

There's something unsettling about watching billionaire adults play elves while building mass surveillance tools. Tolkien, who in his work warned against the seduction of absolute power, probably wouldn't approve.

1.2 PayPal, the CIA, and the Birth of an Empire

Palantir's story begins with fraud. Or rather, with the attempt to fight it.

In the early 2000s, PayPal was losing millions of dollars to fraudulent transactions. Thiel's team developed software capable of analyzing enormous amounts of transactional data, identifying anomalous patterns, and finding fraudsters among millions of legitimate operations. A needle in a haystack, found by an algorithm.

When eBay acquired PayPal for $1.5 billion in 2002, Thiel found himself with a nice nest egg and an idea: apply that same technology not to financial fraud, but to terrorism.

It's 2003. The Twin Towers are still smoldering rubble in collective memory. America is in the grip of post-9/11 panic, on the eve of the Iraq invasion. Intelligence agencies are drowning in data they can't process, searching for needles in ever-larger haystacks.

Thiel realizes he needs a storyteller, someone who can sell the idea. He resurrects an old contact from Stanford: a philosopher with a German doctorate, "progressive but not woke" in his own words. His name is Alexander Karp.

Palantir's first investor? In-Q-Tel, the CIA's venture capital fund.

We should stop here to reflect: a private company, funded by the CIA, building tools to "see everything." This isn't the plot of a dystopian thriller it's Silicon Valley in 2003.

2. The Four Platforms of the (Digital) Apocalypse

2.1 Foundry: The Commercial Brain

Foundry is Palantir's platform for the commercial sector and civilian government branches. Its purpose: transforming mountains of raw data into operational decisions.

Imagine you're the CEO of a logistics multinational. You have data from hundreds of sources: truck sensors, weather forecasts, real-time traffic, warehouse inventory levels, customer orders, fuel prices, supplier performance. Foundry takes all this data, integrates it, analyzes it, and tells you: "Move 15 trucks from the Milan warehouse to Rome by tomorrow morning, or you'll lose 2 million euros in missed deliveries."

Foundry's clients include:

Sector Companies

Banking Morgan Stanley, Citibank

Pharmaceutical Pfizer, Merck

Automotive Stellantis

Retail Walmart, Wendy's

Tech Apple, Amazon

In Q3 2025, Palantir's US commercial revenue grew 121% year-over-year, reaching $397 million. The Foundry platform is becoming what Karp calls "the operating system for the modern enterprise in the AI era."

So far, nothing particularly sinister. It's business optimization, big data serving efficiency. The problem is that Foundry is just Palantir's presentable facade, the face you can show investors without making them blush.

2.2 Apollo: The Silent Guardian

Apollo is less flashy but crucial: it's the system that keeps all Palantir software constantly updated. In a world where an unpatched vulnerability can cost billions, Apollo ensures platforms are always at the latest version, automatically and continuously.

2.3 AIP: Artificial Intelligence in Command

AIP (Artificial Intelligence Platform) is Palantir's answer to the Large Language Model revolution. Launched in 2023, AIP allows clients to integrate generative AI models (like GPT or Claude) directly into their operations, keeping data private and maintaining complete control.

The difference from ChatGPT? AIP isn't a generic chatbot. It's a system that acts: it can automate workflows, make decisions, orchestrate AI agents to solve complex problems. Fannie Mae uses it to identify mortgage fraud. Citibank to verify customer requests. A medical device manufacturer signed a contract expansion that multiplied the initial contract value by eight in just five months.

The result? In Q3 2025, Palantir closed contracts worth a total of $2.8 billion a 151% increase from the previous year.

2.4 Gotham: The Eye of Sauron

And here we come to the most controversial platform: Gotham.

The name evokes Batman's city, perpetually shrouded in crime and corruption, needing a vigilante to be saved. The metaphor is clear: the world is Gotham City, full of terrorists, criminals, enemies. And Palantir is the new champion.

Gotham is used by:

  • US Intelligence: CIA, FBI, NSA

  • US Defense: Pentagon, Army, Navy, Air Force

  • Homeland Security: including ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement)

  • NATO Allies: Europol, Danish intelligence, Dutch police

  • Israel: IDF (Israel Defense Forces), Ministry of Defense

What does Gotham do, exactly? Two things:

1. War simulation: It works like a strategic video game where military targets are designated, combat scenarios simulated, operation outcomes predicted. "From target detection to lethal action takes no more than two or three minutes," recounted a former Portuguese official who visited Palantir's London headquarters.

2. Cross-referenced database: It aggregates data from multiple sources: biometrics, license plates, health records, financial data, social media, criminal records; creating a complete profile of every individual. A particular tattoo? A suspicious movement pattern? Contact with a person under surveillance? Gotham connects the dots.

Alex Karp candidly admits: "The power of advanced algorithmic warfare systems is now so great as to be equivalent to tactical nuclear weapons against an opponent with only conventional weapons."

Let's stop for a moment. A CEO is comparing his commercial product to tactical nuclear weapons. Not in a provocative interview, not under pressure, in a presentation to investors. And the stock price rises.

3. The $10 Billion Contract and the American War Machine

3.1 The US Army Chooses Palantir

In August 2025, Palantir signed what could be the most important contract in its history: a ten-year agreement with the United States Army potentially worth $10 billion.

The contract covers software supply for:

  • Data analysis and intelligence

  • Operational planning

  • Logistics and procurement

  • Command and control systems

In May 2025, the Department of Defense had already expanded its agreement with Palantir by $795 million for AI battlefield capabilities.

3.2 TITAN: The Mobile Death Terminal

Palantir is developing TITAN (Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node), what the company describes as "a next-generation ground station for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance, powered by AI and Machine Learning."

Imagine an equipped van that can be deployed anywhere, processing data from satellites, drones, ground sensors, and providing field commanders with real-time information to identify and "prosecute" (military term for "neutralize") targets.

Notice the language: you don't "kill people," you "prosecute targets." This isn't an accidental euphemism it's an entire vocabulary designed to make death just another business process.

In collaboration with Anduril Industries, a company founded by former Palantir employees with Thiel's backing the Titan system could become the nerve center of American combat operations.

3.3 Growth Numbers

Metric Q3 2025 YoY Growth

Total Revenue $1.18 billion +63%

US Government Revenue $486 million +52%

US Commercial Revenue $397 million +121%

Net Income $475.6 million +232%

Market Cap ~$490 billion -----

2024 Stock Growth +340% -----

For context: with annual revenue of about $4 billion, Palantir earns less than a European discount grocery chain. But its market cap exceeds companies with ten times the revenue. Investors aren't buying today's earnings they're betting on tomorrow's power.

4. ImmigrationOS: The Deportation Machine

4.1 The $30 Million Contract

In April 2025, ICE awarded Palantir a $30 million contract to develop a new platform called ImmigrationOS: the "operating system" for immigration operations.

According to federal documents, ImmigrationOS has three main functions:

Function Description

Targeting and prioritization Identifying and selecting individuals for removal, prioritizing "violent criminals," gang members (MS-13, Tren de Aragua), and visa overstays

Self-deportation tracking Monitoring in "near real-time" who voluntarily leaves the USA

Immigration lifecycle management Streamlining the entire process "from identification to removal"

Read that last line again: "from identification to removal." We're talking about human beings, people with families, stories, lives, reduced to a "lifecycle" to be "managed" and "streamlined." It's Amazon warehouse language applied to deportations.

The contract justification document is explicit: ICE has an "urgent and compelling" need for the system, and Palantir is the only company capable of delivering it in time. Why? Because "Palantir is already ingesting and processing data from multiple ICE, DHS, and external sources."

4.2 The Leaked Message

In March 2025, 404 Media obtained internal Palantir messages. In one, CTO Akash Jain wrote:

"Over the past several weeks we have prototyped a new set of data integrations and workflows with ICE. The new administration's focus on using data to drive enforcement operations has accelerated these efforts."

Internal documents also show that Palantir had prepared FAQs to help employees answer "uncomfortable questions" on the topic, anticipating public backlash. When you prepare answers to "uncomfortable questions" in advance, maybe you should ask yourself if you're doing the right thing.

4.3 The Criticism

The American Immigration Council raised concerns:

"Systems like ImmigrationOS pose significant risks to the general public, in part because it is unclear how the system is limited to only people unlawfully present in the US. Such a system could easily be expanded to target any American."

Amnesty International went further, calling Palantir "complicit in the human rights and constitutional violations" of the Trump administration.

Meanwhile, Palantir's CEO donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration committee. The company sponsored the June military parade and contributed to the $300 million White House ballroom project.

This isn't a conflict of interest. It's the business model.

5. Gaza: When AI Becomes a Weapon

5.1 The Agreement with the Israeli Ministry of Defense

In October 2023, just weeks after Hamas's October 7 attack, Alex Karp was in Israel. After a public speech, he went to a military headquarters where he signed an enhanced agreement with the Israeli Ministry of Defense.

According to executive vice president Josh Harris: "Both parties agreed to leverage Palantir's advanced technology in support of war-related missions."

The contract included the sale of an Artificial Intelligence Platform that processes masses of classified intelligence reports to make "life or death determinations on which targets to attack."

Life or death determinations. Made by an algorithm. Sold as a service.

5.2 Lavender, Gospel, and the Target Factory

An investigation by +972 Magazine and Local Call revealed the existence of AI systems called "Lavender" and "Gospel" used by the IDF to generate target lists in Gaza. According to the investigation:

  • Lavender profiled approximately 37,000 individuals as potential Hamas militants

  • The algorithms process surveillance data (phones, messages, digital data) to identify suspicious patterns

  • Before October 7, rules of engagement strictly limited civilian casualties allowed per target

  • After October 7, such limitations were "loosened to the point of allowing the massacre of dozens of non-combatants for each targeted individual"

Palantir denied being the developer of Lavender or Gospel. However, the company confirmed providing AI platforms to the Israeli Ministry of Defense for "war-related missions."

37,000 people profiled by an algorithm. How many were actually combatants? How many were fathers, mothers, children in the wrong place at the wrong time? The algorithm doesn't make these distinctions and perhaps that's exactly the point.

5.3 "Our Product Is Used to Kill"

Alex Karp himself admitted: "Our product is used, occasionally, to kill people."

In a moment of rare self-reflection, he added: "I've asked myself: if I were younger, in college, would I protest against myself?"

The answer, apparently, didn't stop him. Perhaps because between an existential question and a billion-dollar contract, the billions always win.

6. Peter Thiel's Network: From the PayPal Mafia to the White House

6.1 The Kingmaker

Peter Thiel holds no official positions in the Trump administration. He doesn't need to. His influence operates through a network of protégés, allies, and investments that permeates every corner of American power.

The "PayPal Mafia", the group of former PayPal employees and founders who went on to found LinkedIn, YouTube, SpaceX, Palantir, and other companies, is now an integral part of the second Trump administration.

Person Thiel Connection Current Role

J.D. Vance Former Mithril Capital employee US Vice President

Elon Musk PayPal co-founder DOGE head, Trump advisor

Jacob Helberg Former Palantir senior adviser Under Secretary of State

Clark Minor Former Palantir engineer (13 years) Chief Information Officer, HHS

Colin Carroll Former Anduril Industries Chief of Staff, Pentagon

Look at this table. It's not a conspiracy theory, it's public data. A single entrepreneur has placed his people at the Vice Presidency, State Department, Pentagon, Health Department. When we talk about "Silicon Valley's influence on politics," this is what we mean.

6.2 Vance: The Protégé

The story of J.D. Vance and Peter Thiel deserves a closer look.

2011: Vance, a Yale law student, attends a Thiel lecture. He's impressed.

2015: After graduation, Vance is hired by Mithril Capital, Thiel's fund.

2016: Vance publishes Hillbilly Elegy, the memoir that catapults him to national fame. Thiel writes a blurb for the book.

2017: Vance leaves Mithril to found his own fund, Narya Capital (another Tolkien name Narya is one of the three Elven rings). Among the backers: Thiel, Marc Andreessen, Eric Schmidt.

2021: Thiel brings Vance to Mar-a-Lago to introduce him to Trump and reconcile their relationship (Vance had been critical of Trump in the past).

2022: Thiel donates a record $15 million to Vance's Ohio Senate campaign, the largest single donation to a Senate candidate in history.

2024: After pressure from Thiel, Trump chooses Vance as his vice presidential candidate.

From impressionable student to Vice President in thirteen years, with one common thread: Peter Thiel. If this isn't the definition of "kingmaker," we don't know what is.

6.3 Internal Pressure

Ironically, some of the fiercest criticism of Palantir now comes from within the MAGA coalition.

Steve Bannon, architect of Trump's first victory, compared Palantir to "a sci-fi villain."

Joe Rogan, the podcaster who helped mobilize young voters for Trump, called the company "creepy."

Roger Stone, Trump's longtime adviser, publicly told Vance that Palantir is "his biggest concern for the country's future."

Vance found himself on the defensive. At a University of Mississippi event, he dismissed what he called "this internet meme that I'm supposedly in cahoots with Palantir."

The reality is more complex: Vance is caught between the anti-Big Tech populism of the MAGA base and his financial and personal ties to Silicon Valley's oligarchy.

7. Algocracy: When the Algorithm Becomes the Government

7.1 The American Megadatabase

On May 30, 2025, the New York Times revealed that the Trump administration asked Palantir to design an infrastructure for aggregating data held by federal agencies on a national scale.

The goal: create a unified "super-database" containing:

  • Health insurance

  • Bank accounts and transactions

  • Employment activity

  • Tax records (IRS)

  • Social Security data

  • Voter registrations

  • And much more

According to WIRED and CNN, Elon Musk's DOGE team is already using Palantir technology to create connections between previously separate government databases.

7.2 The Chinese Parallel

China's social credit system, so criticized in the West, started exactly this way: from seemingly innocuous data integration, managed by algorithms. If the algorithm decides you're "dangerous" based on behavioral patterns, there's no need to investigate whether you actually are. You just are.

The difference between Chinese and American state surveillance? In China, the government collects data directly. In America, it does so through a private contractor called Palantir.

It's unclear which option is more concerning. In China, at least, you know who's watching you.

7.3 "I Have Nothing to Hide"

It's the classic objection. But think about it: would you be happy if someone could read all your chats? Evaluate whether you're "dangerous" from the photos you send? Correlate your transactions with your movements to deduce what you're doing and with whom?

The European Chat Control, still under discussion in Brussels in November 2025, would allow exactly this: an algorithm spying on every private chat, officially to search for child abuse material.

But as critics note: once the infrastructure exists, its use can be extended to any purpose. Today you're looking for pedophiles, tomorrow terrorists, the day after "extremists," then "dissidents," then anyone not aligned. History teaches us that surveillance powers, once granted, are never reduced only expanded.

8. The Technological Republic: Karp's Vision

8.1 The Manifesto

In 2025, Alex Karp published "The Technological Republic: Hard Power, Soft Belief, and the Future of the West" a manifesto explaining Palantir's mission.

The central thesis: the West must "wake up," win the artificial intelligence race, and use technology to maintain global dominance. Silicon Valley must stop wasting talent on social media and advertising, and return to collaborating with the defense sector like in the days of the Manhattan Project or the Moon race.

For Karp, the ideal state resembles a startup: lean, technology-driven, managed with authority by a "founder-type" figure unafraid to "move fast and break things" even when what breaks are human lives.

"Move fast and break things" was Facebook's motto. It worked great for social media, if you don't count political polarization, election interference, the youth mental health crisis. Now Karp wants to apply the same philosophy to war and state surveillance. What could go wrong?

8.2 "Making America More Lethal"

In an investor call in November 2025, Karp didn't mince words:

"We are making America more lethal, analyzing a set of data for the US armed forces and allies to help them anticipate enemy moves, locate their positions..."

Company policy is clear: Gotham will never be sold to non-NATO countries or non-solid US allies.

"Making America more lethal." Not "safer," not "stronger", more lethal. It's the quiet part said out loud, and investors like it.

8.3 The Thiel Paradox

Peter Thiel is a man of contradictions:

  • Libertarian who builds state surveillance tools

  • Immigrant (born in Germany) who funds anti-immigration policies

  • Openly gay who supports candidates with anti-LGBTQ+ agendas

  • Critic of liberal democracy who operates at the heart of democratic institutions

In 2009, Thiel wrote an essay stating that "freedom and democracy have become incompatible." His vision? A technocratic government led by enlightened technological elites like, presumably, himself.

It's not hypocrisy, it's consistency. For Thiel, the rules are for others. Libertarians like him are free to build the surveillance state, because they know what's best for everyone. It's the technocrat's paradox: he despises democracy, but wants to control it.

9. The Numbers of Influence

9.1 Federal Contracts

From Trump's inauguration day (January 2025) to November 2025, Palantir obtained federal contracts worth billions of dollars:

Agency Contract Value Purpose

U.S. Army Up to $10 billion (10 years) Software and AI for operations

Department of Defense $795 million (expansion) AI for battlefield

ICE $30 million+ $51 million Immigration

OSIRS Unspecified Cost reduction

Department of Veterans Affairs Unspecified Statistics

State Department Unspecified Threat identification

9.2 Market Valuation

Metric Value

Capitalization ~$490 billion

Price-to-Sales ratio (forward) ~104x

Price-to-Earnings ratio (forward) ~280x

Stock growth since Trump election +180%

Stock Growth +340%

For comparison: Apple and Microsoft, with quarterly revenues of $94 and $76 billion respectively, have P/E ratios around 30x. Palantir's P/E is nearly ten times higher.

As one analyst wrote: "It would take at least four consecutive years of 50% growth for the P/S ratio to return to typical mega-cap tech levels."

Investors aren't betting on a company, they're betting on a future where surveillance is ubiquitous and Palantir holds the keys. It's a bet we'd rather lose.

10. The Anduril Partnership: The Future of War

10.1 The "Flame of the West"

Anduril Industries, the name means "Flame of the West" in Elvish, and is Aragorn's sword, was founded in 2017 by former Palantir employees with Peter Thiel's backing.

The founder is Palmer Luckey, creator of the Oculus Rift (later sold to Facebook). The company produces autonomous drones, border surveillance systems, and a platform called Lattice similar to Gotham but more focused on strategic planning.

In 2024, Palantir and Anduril signed a strategic alliance with the stated goal of "ensuring the United States leads in artificial intelligence."

10.2 The Defense Tech Consortium

Palantir and Anduril are in talks with a consortium that includes:

  • SpaceX (Elon Musk)

  • OpenAI (ChatGPT creators)

  • Other defense contractors

The goal: compete jointly for government contracts, offering an integrated ecosystem of AI, drones, satellites, and operational software.

OpenAI itself, in June 2025, secured a $200 million Pentagon contract to develop military AI systems. And as it happens, OpenAI has an active partnership with Anduril.

Remember when OpenAI was called "Open" because it wanted to democratize AI for humanity's benefit? Now it builds weapons with Pentagon money. It's the Silicon Valley cycle: every tech utopia ends up becoming a defense contractor.

11. The Questions We Should Be Asking

11.1 Privacy vs Security

Are we willing to trade our privacy for presumed security? It's the question Palantir forces us to ask ourselves.

The CEO himself admits the technology is "crazy and weird and affects our privacy." But his answer is: "The only real protection is electing the right people."

The problem: once surveillance infrastructure exists, it can be used by whoever gets elected, including leaders with less benevolent intentions. "Elect the right people" isn't a guarantee, it's a hope. And control infrastructures don't get dismantled when governments change.

11.2 The Power of a Private Company

Is it right for a single private company to:

  • Have access to millions of people's data?

  • Provide tools to decide who lives and dies in war?

  • Operate without accountability to Congress or the public?

  • Accumulate know-how that the government itself doesn't possess?

And in case of a massive hacker attack on Palantir, where would all that data end up?

These aren't rhetorical questions. They're the queries a democratic society should be asking before handing the keys to surveillance to a private company headquartered in "The Shire" with offices in "Minas Tirith."

11.3 The Tolkien Metaphor

As the video that inspired this article notes, in Tolkien's world the palantíri aren't inherently good or evil. They allow communication, viewing the past and future. But it's the use made of them that defines them.

In Gandalf's hands, the palantír is an instrument of wisdom. In Saruman's hands, it becomes a means of manipulation and betrayal. In Denethor's hands, it leads to madness and despair.

Palantir, the company, provides pure power. The question is: are we Gandalf, capable of resisting temptation? Or are we Saruman, ready to yield in exchange for illusory control?

But perhaps there's a third option Tolkien knew well: in the book, the solution isn't using power "the right way" it's refusing it. Frodo doesn't wear the Ring to defeat Sauron. He destroys it.

12. Conclusions: The Price of Seeing Everything

Palantir Technologies is, simultaneously:

  • A company that revolutionized data analysis

  • A military contractor that "makes America more lethal"

  • A builder of mass surveillance infrastructure

  • A political actor with direct White House access

  • A real-time technocracy experiment

Its market value reflects not today's revenues, but investors' bet on a future where every piece of data, every transaction, every movement, every message, flows through Palantir's platforms to be analyzed, categorized, and used.

A future where the distinction between public and private sector, between national defense and citizen surveillance, between democracy and technocracy becomes increasingly blurred.

Alex Karp closes his book with an appeal: technology is the West's destiny, and those who don't embrace it are doomed to perish.

At Network Caffè, we believe in a different vision. We believe, with Aaron Swartz, that "information is power", but that this power should be distributed, not concentrated. We believe technology should serve people, not be a tool to control them. We believe that "real progress happens only when the advantages of a new technology become available to everybody," as Henry Ford said not when they become the weapon of the few against the many.

The question isn't whether Palantir is "good" or "bad." The question is: what kind of future do we want? A future where our every movement is tracked, analyzed, judged by algorithms serving those who can afford them? Or a future where technology liberates instead of surveilling, connects instead of controlling, serves instead of dominating?

Palantir won't give the answer. We will, with our choices, our voices, our capacity to imagine a different world.

Meanwhile, the eye keeps watching. It's up to us to decide whether to look away or start looking back.
