What does it mean for Palantir to want to reinstate the draft? And why is this newsworthy?

The movements and announcements of large tech companies tend to be newsworthy, whether it's "we made a new iPhone", "our new model is so good it's dangerous!" or "we should have a draft to support new American imperialism"

I understand why your first two examples would be newsworthy – they are 1) about technical products that 2) are produced by the company that is making the announcement. But what does Palantir have to do with the draft? Isn't this comment on the same level as, I dunno, Elon Musk tweeting that families should have at least 3 kids?
