In 2023, the then-Conservative government awarded Palantir with a £330m contract to “build a new NHS data platform”. The move proved controversial because Palantir is a US spy tech firm and its co-founder Peter Thiel is a prominent Trump donor with links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Now, a trove of leaked emails have shone further light on Thiel’s connections.

Well, Elon wouldn't work with him because Elon had a shitty idea that Thiel said was shitty and wouldn't let Elon do it. Elon was forced to settle for becoming filthy rich.

That project is where the name "X" originally comes from.
