- The CEO of Palantir, Alex Karp, said that Trump was “brilliant” to reject paradigms that led to “stupid” results.
- In the interview with CNBC “Squawk Box”, he suggests that those who want to be the manufacturers do the same.
- Karp has also weighed on criticism from Musk’s DOGE methods, saying that the left should try to get involved with Tesla CEO.
The co -founder of Palantir and CEO Alex Karp said that President Donald Trump does not accept paradigms leading to “stupid” results – and it is something that he does “very, very well”.
“He is quite brilliant in this area,” said Karp, who said he had identified himself as a democrat for most of his life, in an interview with “Squawk Box” from CNBC on Tuesday.
Karp made these remarks when he asked him questions about the first American discussions with Russia from a potential end to the Ukraine War and Trump’s past comments that he wanted to obtain $ 500 billion in minerals rare earths from Ukraine. Karp said it was an example of Trump rejecting a paradigm.
“So what I see is that it is like” I do not accept a paradigm where America continues to finance things, there is no real discussion, “said Karp.
The CEO of Palantir said that those who wanted to be manufacturers could withdraw a lesson in Trump’s game book.
“Do not accept a stupid paradigm, it doesn’t matter who you should have it,” Karp said.
The CEO of Palantir said that Elon Musk, who directs the Ministry of Effectiveness of the Government, is “the most important manufacturer in the world” and criticized the way many of the political left responded to Musk’s efforts Reduce “fraud, waste and abuse responded to musk to reduce” fraud, waste and abuse. “Karp said people should want to know where their dollars are going to taxpayers, and those who have questions about his methods should engage in the discussion with him.
The unions and other groups have brought various prosecution against Doge’s efforts to access government data, such as the Treasury Department’s payment system, and have considerably reduced the federal workforce. Some of the initiatives are suspended while business wores in court.
“What the progressive left should do is say:” OK, Elon is clearly the most qualified person in the world to do something like that, we want to dialogue with you on the way you do and what do you do , “Karp said, adding that he doesn’t think it happens.
Karp previously expressed his support for Doge and was also frank on issues such as anti -Semitism and denounced the demonstrations of the 2024 college against Israel.
Palantant is a software company that provides AI solutions and data analysis for the government and commercial entities. He has several government contracts, notably with the Ministry of Defense and the American Army.
Karp is currently on a press tour of the promotion of a book he co-written entitled “The Technological Republic: hard power, sweet belief and the future of the West”. In this document, he argues that the West has abandoned its sense of ambition and has become complacent and that “Silicon Valley has lost its way”.
Pushing against those who can consider the West as “inferior”, the CEO of Palantir said that the world has entered a technological revolution motivated by a “world defined by the software” led by the United States. To succeed, Karp said that countries must have functional borders, soldiers must “be frightening” and that education systems must work.
