एक्स उपयोगकर्ताओं ने यूनुस को उस तरह की टिप्पणियों के साथ जवाब दिया, जिसकी कोई भी राष्ट्रपति डोनाल्ड ट्रम्प और हमारे आधुनिक निगरानी समाज के सबसे डिस्टॉपियन तत्वों से जुड़ी कंपनी पलान्टिर के बारे में उम्मीद कर सकता है।
“Can it be operated remotely? Can be detonated? Can be heard? What’s the list of features,” joked one user, while another asked if it had “surveillance trackers built in?”
But Younes seemed genuinely offended by the most obvious of jokes, which is what any sane person might expect about Palantir, a defense contractor that takes pride in helping people surveil and kill people all over the world. he replied “Here for posting nonsense but I need to see better than you. It’s inauthentic and not funny,” and “Not funny at all.” Try more.”
According to a recent report from Wired, even Palantir employees are waking up to what the company stands for. When the US launched a missile attack on an elementary school in Iran on February 28, killing about 175 people, mostly children, employees reportedly began to question whether Palantir’s Maven technology had been used. Employees are also concerned about the company’s lucrative contracts with ICE, an organization that has been terrorizing American streets in particularly despicable ways.
But it seems Palantir is intent on pushing the gear that allows like-minded people to wrap themselves in a sinister, anti-American brand.
“We want millions of people around the world to wear Palantir merchandise,” Younes recently told GQ. Younes says he wants Palantir to become a lifestyle brand, telling GQ, “There are people out there who are wearing Palantir merchandise to signal their engagement with our mission, and that’s what a lifestyle brand is.”
Of course, that lifestyle is not one that civilized people can be proud of. Palantir recently promoted a Reader’s Digest-style edition of the book The Technological RepublicIn a tweet, co-authored by CEO Alex Karp. The book advocates the reinstatement of the draft, saying “post-war castrationThe criticism of Germany and Japan after the atrocities of World War II was an exaggeration, and criticizes the concept of pluralism.
This is not just a matter of household chores. The company also sells sweatshirts, T-shirts, and hats, among other items. A T-shirt Palantir sold in 2025 contained an image of a carp with the word “Dominate”. That item is no longer available for purchase.
Younes also suggested to GQ that its CEO was important to Palantir as a fashion brand: “A lot of the store’s design is in line with the personal style of Dr. Karp and our Chief Technology Officer Shyam Shankar.” Younes wouldn’t say how many units the company is selling, but he claimed, “Year-over-year store sales have increased by 64% and everything we’ve made sells out, sometimes within minutes.”
GQ asked about Palantir’s ICE contracts and other “controversial” things involving the U.S. military, but Younes insisted the company is “not political,” whatever that means.
As The Wall Street Journal recently reported, Palantir is working hard to sell the “take-the-boss-is-a-hero ethos” that’s all too common in Silicon Valley these days. But some fans of the company also think the business effort is a shame.
“Unpopular opinion: All these merch posts are very ‘fan boy’ and extra sycophantic,” one user wrote in the Palantir subreddit about Karp’s Dominate shirt. “Like the stock or not, trust the company or not, … but frequent trading posts are weak sauce.”
Others have been completely bought out, with one user writing, “Definitely a collector’s item for me, might be worth something one day.”
Younes told GQ that Palantir is working on a tennis collection and something else for the America 250 celebration this summer. So if you’re a fan of techno-fascism, keep your eyes peeled. Whatever goods they have planned to sell for the rest of the year may be sold out in no time.
