Palantir CEO Alex Karp Criticizes Silicon Valley's Role in Trump's Rise

Karp argues that tech industry excesses and detachment from average Americans fueled Trump's political success.

Karp believes Silicon Valley's policies and attitudes contributed to Trump's ascendance.
He contrasts his own progressive views with cofounder Peter Thiel's support for Trump.
Karp claims Thiel's backing of Trump made securing government contracts more difficult for Palantir.
Palantir faced internal and external protests over its government work during Trump's presidency.
Karp continues to support Democratic candidates, backing Kamala Harris for the 2024 election.
