    Do you mean investors are trying to manipulate stocks by planting stories? Yeah, I think so. But intelligence agencies have whole training programs on how to manipulate narratives, and a very long track record of doing so. See the GCHQ leaked documents, the Church Committee, and The Cultural Cold War by Frances Stonor Saunders.

      Astroturfing is definitely a thing that exists but what evidence is there that palantir the company is spending resources that way?

      Most companies have marketing and PR departments, not GCHQ and IDF veterans
