Meh, she is a cunt but $30m is nothing in PLTR world and if she bought $15k this is an absolute nothing burger. We have plenty of reasons to hate with substance, and I know Congress inside trades, but THIS isn't it.

What a bizarre take. It is still corruption and insider trading even if it is only a smaller amount.

Corruption, lobbying and money in politics is pretty much the main reason you have a facist government imo

Not being rich enough yet to fully take advantage of the corruption isn't evidence she isn't corrupt...

Not saying she's not corrupt, but this is a journo stretching to make a headline not a case of insider trading. PLTR has been in bed with trump admin since it started, has 3x since election day and y'all are in arms over a 15% gain and contract the size of a rounding error. It's like mentioning TSLA losses YTD while casually ignoring the run up between election day and 12/31. Context is everything and the grift is absolutely real. This just isn't it.

She kept it small enough that she could claim it was a coincidence or accidental conflict of interest.

You can accidentally not scan 1 of the 4 kitkats in your bag, you cant accidentally carjack a bentley.

Yeah no shit, but the point is this is one of the areas you can legitimately "bOtH sIdEs" because the corpo dems do this shit too. Still a nothingburger as far as this shit is normal and expected for congress.

The market does not think it will stay at 30 million. Palantir is moving in to become opne of the key suppliers of western authroitarian regimes and other countries like Germany are lining up with the inspiration of the US too.
