> Tesla wants and needs to sell to common people. Palantir doesn't.

But common people are also employees[1], voters[2] and shareholders[3] and are getting increasingly vocal:

[2] https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/jul/09/mps-urge-la...

[3] https://www.barrons.com/articles/palantir-stock-price-human-...

It is a risky strategy but if people believe they are creepy they believe they are powerful.

But from what I understand

[1] USA Today is still using Palantir

[2] This might have an effect in 2027 or it might not

[3] The majority of shareholders still voted against that proposal

So in the end, these people getting vocal has pretty much no real effect.
