"When a company moves its headquarters, it's making a statement - whether leadership spells it out or not. That's the case with Palantir's surprise announcement Tuesday that it has relocated its home base to Florida from Colorado. The defense-tech contractor disclosed the change in a one-sentence press release citing a new address just outside Miami. Palantir, led by cofounder and CEO Alex Karp, didn't provide a reason or say what it means for employees."
"Though Karp backed Kamala Harris' 2024 campaign, he has more recently praised the Trump administration's immigration and national security policies. On a November earnings call, Karp called for tougher border policies and highlighted Palantir's work with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Israel. Palantir, which relies heavily on government contracts, has also faced protests in Colorado in recent years. Colorado is a blue state, Florida is red."

The company did not provide a reason or explain impacts on employees. The move places the defense-focused software firm in a red state rather than a blue state. The CEO, Alex Karp, previously backed Kamala Harris' 2024 campaign and more recently praised Trump administration immigration and national security policies; he also called for tougher border policies on a November earnings call and highlighted work with ICE and Israel. Palantir relies heavily on government contracts and has faced protests in Colorado.
