Too bad the only government department concerned with that is the Department of Energy, and last I checked Palantir isn't a contract partner running any of the national labs.

If you're referring to the fact DOE controls our nuclear arsenal, then sure. Not a lot else at DOE directly contributes to national security that I'm aware of.

They sure do fund cool basic science research though.

the arsenal, anti-proliferation, and the fact they make the reactors that go on the subs that carry the missiles.
