The contract, split with Andoril and coordinated with L3 Harris, entrenches Palantir even deeper as a battlefield system integrator for the US military... and once a company drops Palantir, they lose the entire ontology built on top of it. There's no clean way to walk away. Chris breaks down why the stock jumped roughly 30% after August earnings, what Alex Carp's sovereign AI pitch actually means in practice, and the discounted cash flow math behind Carp's $15-18 billion free cash flow target... including why hitting that number in the next two years could justify Palantir's valuation even if growth slows down after that. We also get into the bull and bear case on Carp as a salesman, why commercial customers who adopt Palantir tend to expand their usage rather than leave, and what this all means for Palantir's next two to ten years.
