Peter Thiel (Palantir)Back in early to mid May someone on CEO.ca had been worried about Peter Thiel messing with DM stock after Marshall compared DM to Palantir. Of note was the 7 million shorts that appeared after the interview where Marshall mentions Palantir. Fast-forward to now and news is out about Palantir potentially going public with an IPO. Can't help but wonder...
I hope this person doesn't mind me quoting them.
"
The worry I keep coming back to was when Gunther said their tech was comparable/competitive with Palantir. If that is true and Peter Thiel believes DM to be any kind of threat he is the kind of person who would be willing to spend tens of millions of dollars and possibly more destroying DM. It sounds *ing crazy but it's in his playbook." from #dm,
