ME: How much funding did Palantir receive from the Federal govenrment in 2024
Grok 3: To determine the total funding Palantir Technologies received from the U.S. federal government in 2024, I’ll synthesize data from provided search results (web:0–19, post:0–7), focusing on contracts, grants, and other obligations reported by reliable sources (e.g., USASpending.gov, federal agencies, Palantir’s filings). I’ll critically evaluate discrepancies, address uncertainties…..
