Palantir Technologies expressed its support for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a cost-cutting agency led by Elon Musk, stating that it is essential for national interests. Chief Technology Officer Shyam Sankar emphasized the need to eliminate ineffective government spending, while the company reported a significant revenue increase of 39% year-on-year. Amidst concerns from other tech firms like IBM and Accenture regarding potential cuts, Palantir sees value in a pressured budget environment, encouraging necessary questions about software effectiveness and ethical management.
DOGE was established to cut government spending and help reduce public debt, which reached a record high of $36.2 trillion in January 2025.
We have way too much spend on things that do not work... the fake projects crowd out and suffocate the things that could actually be excellent.
We like pressure on the system. We need pressure on the system. Because that pentesting forces you to ask questions about software effectiveness.
These guys are heroes. They are world-class technologists that could be doing anything, and instead, they are choosing to do this.
