The data analytics firm Palantir finds itself in the crosshairs of a prominent critic. Michael Burry, the investor famed for predicting the 2008 financial crisis, has significantly escalated his public campaign against the company. His latest move shifts the battleground from technical chart analysis to questions of corporate ethics, creating a stark contrast with Palantir’s recent stream of high-profile contract wins.

Burry’s critique entered a new phase over the weekend. Moving beyond financial metrics, he took to social media to demand evidence for what he characterized as the company’s alleged covert smear campaigns. His statements employed sarcastic references to underscore a deep-seated skepticism regarding Palantir’s governance.
