       | Lol not really. There are lot of historical companies which made
       | it big with connections to the govt. Almost every single country
       | has them.
       | 
       | The fact that is a tech company is coincidental. Even if it was
       | an ice cream business it would succeed.
       | 
       | The employees, especially like the folks writing this article
       | have zero to do with it's "success", which itself is questionable
       | I think.

       | "early days" at Palantir, having been there mid 2009 to early
       | 2014.
