""I don't want to have endless conversations about Trump because the other side is totally irresponsible," Karp says in the book."
""They won't do anything on immigration or Iran. They talk all the time about racism but won't talk about antisemitism," Karp, who is biracial and Jewish, told Steinberger."
""I'm sick and tired of left-wing people fostering right-wing populist movements because they won't be adults about these issues.""
""Being unpopular pays the bills," Karp told him."
Palantir and CEO Alex Karp have been central to controversies tied to the Trump presidency, including DOGE, ICE deportations, Gaza, Iran, and artificial intelligence. Co-founder Peter Thiel offered to step down from Palantir's board during Trump's first presidency and later re-engaged with Trump after refusing to support his 2020 campaign. Karp expressed frustration with both political sides, criticizing the left for fostering right-wing populism and for addressing racism while neglecting antisemitism. The Oct. 7 attacks prompted a political metamorphosis for Karp, who moved away from the Democratic Party while remaining publicly supportive of Israel and privately critical of Israeli leadership.
