Palantir’s Mike Gallagher is pushing for the US Defense Department to tap into Silicon Valley’s defense tech boom. As head of Palantir’s global defense efforts, Gallagher aims to seed startups that can help restore the country’s competitive edge in modern warfare.
A former China hawk and key proponent of banning TikTok on national security grounds, Gallagher now seeks to prepare the US and its allies for a technological arms race with China while avoiding military conflict.
