- Tech billionaire (co-founder Paypal, early Facebook investor) and Trump advisor Peter Thiel owns a large stake in Palantir Technologies.
- CIA-funded, Palantir’s predictive-policing software is used by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to monitor Iran’s nuclear enrichment compliance under its 2015 deal with six world powers.
- While past IAEA inspectors relied on tracking nuclear fissile stockpiles, Palantir can process 400 million “digital objects” including social media feeds and satellite photos as evidence.
- Thiel’s closeness could influence Palantir’s findings (“false readings”) to support Trump’s agenda.
