"Our competition is actually political. The woke left and the woke right wake up every day, figuring out how they can hurt Palantir. And if they get into power, they'll hurt Palantir."
"If, like, the Mamdani wing of the Democratic Party takes over - I viewed that as my party. But if that's the party, I'm not in it."
"If you explain to the world that labor is going to be valueless, people are going to elect the most ridiculous people ever."
"If you run around saying that, you know, 'Oh, the economy is gonna completely shiftto value creation only owned by 10,000 people,' people on the left and the right are gonna go nuts."
Alex Karp characterizes the main threats to Palantir as political rather than commercial, naming both a 'woke' left and a conspiracy-minded right. He stated that Palantir is "the first company to be completely anti-woke" and singled out the Mamdani wing of the Democratic Party as a political risk. He warned that messaging that AI will make labor valueless fuels electoral hysteria and said working-class labor must be shown as becoming more valuable through products like Palantir's. He argued that both left- and right-wing rhetoric can drive extreme electoral outcomes and harm the company.
