I'm inclined to think Bulwark probably has this story right
"'The tail wagging the dog' is a popular metaphor for relationships in which a vendor winds up manipulating its customer. In the case of Palantir and the Army, the tail got inside the dog and has now burst out of its chest, like the xenomorph in Alien."

Ran into an ardent proponent of this account for its accuracy over the weekend. I was saying I am skeptical about all 'facts' now, that IMHO no US sources deserve perfect trust. Across all topics. What do people who follow it think? Does it provide info/data that it backs with receipts?
I know a lot of folks like this account. But this is a wild, and unhelpful, exaggeration--it's a resistance version of sean spicer. It veers into #resistanceporn and trades accuracy for clout, like other "blue maga" grifters on here. Pls consider finding other sources of inspiration/news/motivation

These lies demand a congressional investigation of Musk and his minions at the very least.
SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

Let me see if I understand. We're told—in effect—that Hegseth is a non-functional alcoholic who commits sex and financial crimes when intoxicated, and who's never sought treatment for his disease or made real amends to anyone he's harmed, but he can RUN THE MILITARY if he pinkie-swears not to drink?
