I've pointed this out before, but there's an interview clip of Alex Karp saying that Trump won the election in a landslide[0].

If you look at the actual numbers, no one, with any idea of mathematics or statistics or even just basic analysis skills, would call Trump's election victory a landslide.

It calls into question the fundamental raisin d'etre of Palantir. It makes Palantir look like a pure propaganda tool.

Therefore, also entirely useless for strategic decision making.

Interesting analysis of Palantir and Alex Karp:

It's _raison_, but "raisin d'être" would make an excellent name for a haute cuisine dessert.
