Background

Alex Karp is bilingual in German and English and speaks French. He received a law degree from Stanford University and a Ph.D. from the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany.

Karp was an early investor in In-Q-Tel, a not-for-profit venture capital firm that invests in technology solutions for the CIA. He has been critical of tech companies that refuse to work with the federal government in the interest of national security.

After 2011, Karp's counsel was Michael Leiter, former director of the National Counterterrorism Center.

Since 2018, he is on the board of Axel Springer SE, the biggest media corporation in Germany.

Comments on Facebook

When interviewed by MSNBC at the World Economic Forum in 2019; Karp said the following regarding Facebook & Silicon Valley's influence on society:

We have historically delivered either jobs or national security in Silicon Valley. People understood the value of what we're doing. Now, Silicon Valley is creating micro-communities that break the consensus of larger society while simultaneously telling the average American; "I will not support your defense needs" and then selling their products to countries that are adversarial to America. That is a loser position. It is not intelligible. It is not intelligible to the average person. It's academically not sustainable and I am very happy we're not on"..."that side of the debate."

AI

After meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in 2023, Palantir CEO Alex Karp told David Ignatius of The Washington Post that "Palantir AI was ‘winning’ the war for Ukraine."

At the 2024 World Economic Forum in Davos, Karp predicated that within 10 years, around 95% of the world's top tech companies will be American thanks to the U.S. lead in AI. Karp predicted that in time AI will deliver very large GDP growth — but that will benefit only a handful of countries and companies, leading to political and social dislocation.

Targeting antisemitism

“Palantir CEO Alex Carp, whose company’s data-mining software helps the IDF killing machine to select targets including 18,000 innocent children, says we need to scrap the First Amendment to target antisemitism in America…🇮🇱🇺🇸”
