SCOOP: We've learned at least three individuals closely associated with Palantir or its cofounder Peter Thiel were involved in an online recruiting effort for DOGE late last year. Step inside the recruitment effort that helped build Elon's DOGE army:

Love their "Tech Support" video series too. A celebration of expertise.

Also just subscribed. Keep up the good work @wired.com

I think they are running circles around @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com because those companies are complicit in the current events.

alifoley82.bsky.social•14 days ago

I just subscribed as well.

pincelatonito.bsky.social•14 days ago

Ofc Palant1r would be involved... What a surprise (not)

keawijkstra.bsky.social•14 days ago

This article from 2017 shows who were already brooding on power and what they were/are up to. The same persons mentioned in the article are now Trump's satellites.

I never get within a hundred yards of NYT.

I subscribed today too. Well worth every penny. We need to reward great independent journalism whenever we can afford to!

Same. I gotta say that is probably the most gross picture and most accurate representation of this creepy robotic nazi goon that i have ever seen.

adamsith.bsky.social•14 days ago

Fortunately they are a lot smarter than the Gawker crew

madamjujujive.bsky.social•14 days ago

Wired has been just great, excellent reporting. And I think an annual subscription is about $30.

chadloder.bsky.social•14 days ago

It's about $12 right now!

johnbrownlow.bsky.social•14 days ago

It's a RIDICULOUSLY good deal right now

madamjujujive.bsky.social•14 days ago

Drat , I was at five dollars for two years but just recently got renewed for about 30. I’m not mad though - they are really kicking it. I will pass that sale price on to some others though!

missoularedhead.bsky.social•14 days ago

I knew the incel energy was a real thing. A bunch of boys mad at the world want to burn it all down.

canadiangenxog.bsky.social•14 days ago

In other words they were confident they were going to win before the election, because they already had their hacking plans in place. Follow the Russian bomb threats.

Right now, #resistance is vital to our survival. #resistance is vital to our freedoms. We must use our wallets and fight back. Money talks. We cannot afford to give an inch. They WILL take a mile.

The #fight must be NOW.

EVERYTHING IS AT STAKE.

Wired truly is

scooptown.bsky.social•14 days ago

Here is the silver bullet to end this nightmare: We can arrest a large portion of the GOP and the entire Administration TODAY for Seditious Conspiracy.

Spread the word! Likes without shares do nothing to further the cause.

I subscribed yesterday. Didn’t have them on my bingo card for hard hitting articles right out of the gate, but I should have learned a dark horse will rise in media after seeing teen vogue step up in his first administration…and it makes sense with how much of tech has gone all in this time round.

yaygya.ca•14 days ago

Wired has always had this sort of bent for quite some time. They once did a piece about the BJP’s social media propaganda operations that turned me vehemently against them.

maryvarshini108.bsky.social•14 days ago

Same!

czoernie.bsky.social•14 days ago

I did as well.

teegegend.bsky.social•14 days ago

It’s pretty wild that wired and teen vogue are the operations that stepped up in the face of mainstream media collapse. What a horrific look for the media as a whole.

darkest-timeline.bsky.social•14 days ago

Teen Vogue has been killing it for years.

colleensocialwork.bsky.social•14 days ago

Thanks for the reminder. I will subscribe.

coachrt3.bsky.social•14 days ago

what’s interesting is that there’s a YT channel Everything Money that shilled for Palantir all throughout the genocide while it was down. Why? Because of their ties to surveillance tech. The guy also shills Starbucks in the middle of a boycott. No surprise he came out as Trump supporter after he won

summer-o.bsky.social•14 days ago

I wrote a refresher about what Palantir is for those who either don’t remember or don’t know. https://bsky.app/profile/summer-o.bsky.social/post/3lhhj5blp5k22

Wired is doing an excellent job. So is the New Republic.

Politico has also had its moments.

Elon looks like he hired Buster Keaton's makeup team.

phantomyouth.bsky.social•14 days ago

More like Buster Keaton’s mortician

lgrooney.bsky.social•14 days ago

What kills me is how little these yahoos know about the size of our government (% of GDP) v. others in, for example, the G-20 (hint: among the smallest).

They really do want to drive us into 3rd-world status, even if they don’t realize it. They are working for someone other than US interests.

socksthewolf.com•14 days ago

Recent reporting has been crazy, NYT has been asleep at the wheel, wild.

cuddlessmash.bsky.social•14 days ago

They're part of the Conde Nast network so have their own billionaire backing family, to my understanding.

cuddlessmash.bsky.social•14 days ago

I've been a super long time Wired fan, though so the more support the better
