Palantir Technologies has hired former Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wisc.) to run its defense business, charged with identifying contract opportunities and guiding R&D.
Why it matters: Gallagher is an outspoken critic of China, and will reinforce the company's pick-a-side mentality.
Follow the money: Palantir, once backed by the CIA's venture capital arm, is a software specialist that goes toe to toe with the Defense Department's hardware juggernauts.
What he's saying: "In Palantir, you have a rare, leading technology company that is unapologetic in its defense of the West and its belief that America is a force for good in this world and worth defending against our enemies," Gallagher tells Axios, adding that private sector innovation can help prevent World War III.
Behind the scenes: Palantir CEO Alex Karp, who's known Gallagher for years, recently told the New York Times the U.S. will "very likely" fight a sprawling war with China, Russia and Iran, and that scaring "the crap out of your adversaries" is the right move.
