As tech companies go, the surveillance giant Palantir plays it looser than most. 
Specializing in deadly military targeting software and domestic police technology , Palantir isn’t afraid to lean into the reactionary, dystopian schtick. 
That’s not an exaggeration. 
In a since-deleted post on X-formerly-Twitter, Palantir’s head of “strategic engagement” Eliano Younes shared an AI-generated propaganda video depicting the company logo surrounded by cult imagery, bloody crosses, and the grim reaper. 
While the edgy ragebait is part-and-parcel of Palantir’s favored type of marketing material, the video evidently ruffled some feathers, exposing a deep cultural rift within one of the largest military tech firms in the world. 
Speaking to the Financial Times , one former staffer explained that the incident caused the company to have an “absolute internal meltdown.” 
Per the employee, a debate quickly overtook the company’s internal messaging channels, where workers reportedly expressed their outrage out in the open. 
“You had people being like: ‘my customer is a children’s hospital — how am I supposed to explain this to them?'” 
the staffer recalled. 
It’s not the first time the company’s leadership has alienated its rank and file. 
Earlier this year, Palantir workers registered their disgust with the company’s collaboration with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 
After the murder of anti-ICE activists Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, one employee took to Palantir’s message boards to declare that “in my opinion ICE are the bad guys. 
I am not proud that the company I enjoy so much working for is part of this.” 
Politically, it all reads a bit like Mordor’s orcs registering HR complaints about Sauron’s management style. 
The objection is noted, but you’re still helping the guy conquer Middle Earth; Palantir, after all, is named after a fictional orb in JRR Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings ” that corrupts anyone foolish enough to peer into it.
