Authoritarian regimes need to.care about popular opinion too. Sure, unlike a democracy they can survive going under 50% approval for longer but if Anger boils over it gets ugly.

Wholeheartedly agree. The point I'm more trying to make is that they can survive much longer without popular support than other kinds of movements. So Palantir can be very successful for a long time aligning with the regime, even if it will ultimately fall. They can (and probably plan to) jump ship before that fall, like German companies that aided the Nazis did after WWII.
