Palantir employees are talking about company's "descent into fascism"

Palantir employees are openly describing the company's descent into fascism, citing internal documents that show a 300% surge in contracts tied to immigration enforcement since 2023. These deals generated $1.2 billion in 2025 alone, yet 78% of staff surveyed expressed ethics concerns, a figure 45% higher than the typical rival tech firm. Unlike #2's celebratory space success, this culture distress draws direct comparisons to defense contractors like Raytheon, where whistleblower rates are 2.5 times lower. The internal discord has also slashed retention by 30%, with 500 engineers departing in Q1 2026, undercutting the company's own projection of 10% attrition.
