I don't feel like Kim Dotcom is a reliable or trustworthy source. Most of what he said isn't really surprising though, but this completely stretches credulity: > Palantir is creating nuclear and bio weapon capabilities for Ukraine and is working closely with the CIA to defeat Russia. It reads like Kim Dotcom fan fiction. Not even mentioning the gross antisemitism in the replies that he's agreeing with. I hate Palanti…

Yes. Thank you to hooch for prefacing this submission with "Kim Dotcom says", which really helps us to calibrate our trust of the claims!

> The Palentir data the hackers allegedly gathered will be given to Russia and/or China.

How is China or Russia more trustworthy than Canada, an EU nation, India, Brazil, Cameroon, etc.? It's like saying "I hacked the Gambino crime family but I'm handing the secrets over to the Bonannos and/or the Genovese." I smell bullshit.

I don't think Kim Dotcom or Palantir are trustworthy. So the information is useless in the sense that it could be truth or lies. The only people who this information might be useful to are probably spies for other countries that would have some idea as to whether what theyre seeing matches other data points. And that aint' me so idgaf.

Kim Dotcom isn't trustworthy for a number of reasons. The prime one being, in this case, that he's collaborating with others to short Palantir stock[1], and accordingly has a serious conflict of interest. 1. https://x.com/KimDotcom/status/2007336014889791701

Idk, unfortunately if they are really capable of all this, would sound bullish to me.
