Palantir is still working on its reputation in the court of public opinion, and it’s recent contracts with the UK government have not done much to improve this. NHS employees have openly criticized Palantir’s Foundry platform which allegedly impedes their ability to access certain datasets. After being awarded nearly £100 million over the years, UK citizens have spoken out against the company, causing the government to re-evaluate further contract extensions.

One of Palantir’s recent SPAC PIPE investments is Lilium, is a vertical take off, or eVTOL company based out of Germany. The company is merging with Qell Acquisiiton Corp (NASDAQ:QELL) and announced it would be completing the merger at some time in the third quarter of 2021.
