GoKawiilPalantir CEO Alex Karp Repeatedly Calls Himself and Company 'Progressive'
In an interview with Politico, Palantir CEO Alex Karp used the word "progressive" eight times to describe his political views and his company's products, reiterating a self-description he first gave to The New York Times in 2018. Karp has donated to Democratic campaigns, including $360,000 to a Biden-Harris fundraising committee in 2023, but also gave $1 million to a pro-Trump group the following year. In a recent shareholder letter, Karp described Palantir employees as pioneers of an "antiwar movement" while citing historian John Lewis Gaddis's concept of a "long peace."
