- On the earnings call, Alex Karp declared Palantir “the first to be completely anti‑woke,” praising free speech, meritocracy and what he called “lethal technology.”
- Karp said “We power ICE” and noted the company has supported Israel, highlighting Palantir’s work with sensitive government operations.
- He backed the Trump administration’s strikes on suspected drug‑smuggling boats and argued open borders harm working‑class Americans, using the “60,000 Yale grads” analogy to criticize elite indifference to fentanyl deaths.
- In a new Axios interview, Karp said about 98% of day‑to‑day monitoring of Americans is done by private companies, urging attention to corporate tracking and asserting precise tools are needed to protect civil liberties.
