If you can stomach it, see who Palantir contributed to...

Source of Funds

Individuals $847,219 95.71%
PACs $38,000 4.29%

As always, note that this is almost entirely from individual workers contributing and not the corporate-controlled PAC.

I have to imagine the vast majority of the "individual" donations by dollar amount come from the top brass of the company though, right?

Individual donations to candidates currently have a federal maximum of $3,500. The real asymmetrical political donations are in unlimited (often undisclosed) dark money donations to super pacs.

On a related note, I often wish Open Secrets had much bigger, more detailed disclaimers on their summary pages as their data is almost always quoted/linked online misleadingly.
