#Palantir Pays Zero Federal #IncomeTax Despite Explosive Growth, Largely Due to #Trump Tax Law

by Matthew Gardner, February 17, 2026

"The CEO of Palantir, the tech company known for equipping #ICE with #AITools that hack into people’s phones, recently said he runs 'the first company to be completely #AntiWoke.' This week, we learned that a key part of being anti-woke is, apparently, not paying taxes.

"In its recent earnings call summarizing fiscal year 2025, a Palantir exec crowed that the company’s explosive growth and profitability for the year was 'one of the truly iconic performances in the history of corporate performance.' But the company neglected to mention one weird trick that also fueled its 2025 growth: this is the third straight year that a profitable Palantir has avoided paying even a dime of federal income tax on its earnings.

"Palantir’s annual financial report, released this week, shows the company enjoyed $1.5 billion of U.S. income and paid exactly zero federal income tax. At the 21 percent federal income tax rate profitable companies theoretically pay, Palantir should have paid $330 million.

"While the company used a variety of tax breaks to achieve this, the most obvious is the new tax break enacted by Congress at the behest of President Trump last summer. The 'One #BigBeautifulBill' allows companies to (retroactively) immediately deduct their research expenses, rather than writing them off gradually over time in line with the income generated from that research. Palantir reduced its taxes by over $400 million using this provision.

"U.S. #taxpayers are paying multiple times for the services provided by Palantir, which the Trump administration finds so valuable. First, we pay the bill for the government contracts signed with the company, for example, the deal signed in April for Palantir to provide ICE with a system to track immigrants. Then we pay again with subsidies provided through the tax code, including the $400 million for the 'research' the company has done to create these innovations in government surveillance.

"It’s not news that helping the Trump administration with its policy goals can be enormously profitable. But it’s important to recognize that Palantir’s recent success has been helped substantially by a far more pedestrian tool: handouts from American taxpayers."

#Landfill Dumped In Early #EisenhowerEra Through Swinging #SanFrancisco 60s And Supposedly Sealed Off In 7😀's is Leaching Into The #PacificOcean

The site buried under bulldozed boulders at Mussel Rock Beach along the #SanMateo #Seashore gurgles up #garbage including easily read old newspapers from the early 1960s.

The dreaded #CaliforniaCoastalCommission could hit #DalyCity resident #taxpayers with huge fines, but current denizens of this working class enclave object to being blamed for poor planning by bureaucratic buffoons in decades past, putting #toxic heavy metals and ammonia into ground water as well as the sea itself..

**I've told you all, several times, that you shouldn't trust #BCNDP & that they're #sellout #neoliberals. They pander to #CorporateLobbyists invested in #Ecocide & exploitation of unceded #IndigenousLands. #RCMPCIRG = #CorporateMercenaries funded by #PublicMonies - our #Taxpayers funds. I told you that #DavidEby was groomed by #JohnHorgan too. I wasn't lying. They both lied to public though.**

Controversial B.C. RCMP unit to police opposition to fast-tracked resource projects.

A widely-criticized police unit is participating in provincial committees coordinating surveillance and policing of protest against major resource projects—including those fast-tracked under new legislation.

New Hampshire passes #Trump #MAGA idiotic #hysterical #fearmongering bullshit law which costs NH #Taxpayers money

Not one recorded case of a non-citizen ever recorded in New Hampshire commiting vote fraud - correct me if I'm wrong. Not One.

Lots of #Republicans caught voting twice or jamming phone lines, though. Fancy. That.

Flush The Granite State clean of these losers. Flush twice. It's a long way to Mar-a-Lago.

#Taxpayers #LetTheSunshineIn : U.S. #DOE grant expected to fund majority of $2.2 billion complex for #Qcells (division of #SouthKorean #Hanwha Group) to build a solar plant in #Georgia.

President Joe #Biden’s #InflationReductionAct, gives tax credits on #AmericanMade solar gear, plus allows manufacturers to earn #incentives for every unit of #polysilicon they refine in every wafer, cell and module they make in #USA.

A US Dept of #Energy spokesman said “The domestic demand for #solar modules in 2026 is expected to be around 50 #gigawatts. We’re expecting to produce about 40 gigawatts in 2026, So that means 80% of the (#solarpower) modules that we deploy in the United States in 2026 is expected to be domestic.”

Timing of #superbowl2023 is a great time to talk about this: #Cities, stop subsidizing #professionalsports w/ taxpayer dollars. One of the worst possible ROI. “The weight of #economic evidence shows that #taxpayers spend a lot of money and ultimately don't get much back. And when this paltry return is compared with other potential uses of the funds, the investment, almost always, seems unwise. In fact, research has shown that subsidizing #sports facilities usually does not affect a city's growth and, in some cases, may even hurt growth since funds are being diverted from alternatives with higher returns.” By Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis: https://www.stlouisfed.org/publications/regional-economist/april-2001/should-cities-pay-for-sports-facilities
