Palantir CEO Alex Karp recently appeared for an interview on CNBC, during which he endorsed Elon Musk. He also advocated stifling free speech on college campuses, which he claims is to protect Western values but has admitted in the past that it has more to do with shielding Israel from criticism.
As CEO of the CIA-backed analytics company Palantir Technologies, Alex Karp has been using his position to push a new agenda, which is clearly laid out in his new book, “The Technological Republic.” His message weaponizes a wave of opposition to cancel culture, pushing back against identity politics unpopular with the populist American right while proposing that Western Capitalist and Zionist identity politics replace it.
“At some point, Silicon Valley lost its way,” Karp proclaims in his book, arguing that the problem the U.S. faces is that its private sector has been softened by its focus on consumer markets and should return to the American nationalist “collective project.” In his recent CNBC interview, after which Palantir Technologies stock soured, he focused on how university students have fallen victim to an environment in which they are critical of their government and resent Western imperial values.
“What you have been taught in college that you basically should have no beliefs, that the West is inferior” is incorrect, claims Karp, asserting that “the West is obviously superior.” He then says that “a pagan religion has infiltrated our universities,” “that pagan religion basically says everything that’s good about America, everything that actually works, is ipso-facto bad, and by the way, you can’t talk about it not working because it’s a religion.”
While the Palantir CEO rarely explains his disagreements in detail, he has explicitly aligned himself with Elon Musk, advocating a hawkish approach to foreign policy as a solution to America’s domestic woes.
