      To be honest, I don’t think individuals leaving Palantir would matter (although it is likely within their capabilities).

      Palantir had ~4,500 employee in 2025 as per Wikipedia. Replacements will be found.

      To paraphrase my other comment in this post, people leaving a company/vertical hasn’t really ever made an impact (I am sure there are edge cases, but I am talking in terms of systemic impact).

      It’s usually the other way round, things start to happen on the street and then people bail because they don’t want the risk/personal reputational damage.

        Individuals leaving would be unproductive but by the time they’re leaving due to reputational troubles we can still ask them why they didn’t do it earlier. This is something to keep in mind once whistleblowers and insiders start spilling beans. We’ve allowed nazis into science programs but these people have nothing of value to offer.

    The framing of the article is fantastical, I don’t think employees starting to question the nature of their conpany/segment has led to anything meaningful. Sure some verticals suffer from reputational damage (e.g. online gambling, blockchain “projects”), but it’s more of a relative thing.
