Palantir CEO Alex Karp reaffirmed his lifelong affiliation with the Democratic Party during a Wednesday interview with Politico, characterizing the data analytics company's products as essentially progressive. While aligning himself with Democratic perspectives on economic justice and arguing that capitalism cannot solve all problems, Karp maintained a critical stance toward certain factions of the left.
Karp specifically condemned the Democratic Socialists of America, stating they gaslight Jews and segregate Blacks. He has previously described wokeness as a thin pagan religion and criticized Democrats as irresponsible.
