So these Palantir ads… what audience are they targeting? This must be a non-standard awareness campaign.
It’s not like Blackwater or other similar companies have advertised, right? It’s like they want us to know we are being monitored. They want us curious about what it is.
Anyone who buys their services does not need to discover them in this way.
Share price probably
Companies close to trump are likely to get preferential treatment
Investors typically try to invest in companies they expect to grow in value. Many of them (particularly institutional investors) do not care what the company they're investing in does, they just care that the line goes up after they buy and before they sell.
Investors buying shares all at once push the asset price up
My theory, these kinds of companies put their logo next to trump in the hope it triggers a spike in investment and therefore a boost to their share value.
That in addition to the old classic, if they get something like an ad spot for their bribe, it becomes just a business transaction.
