Palantir CEO Alex Karp tells Politico: ‘I’ve been a Democrat my whole life’
WIRED checks Karp’s “progressive” pitch against his Trump donation and Palantir’s military and immigration enforcement work.
TLDR
Alex Karp told Politico he’s been a Democrat his whole life and called Palantir’s products “essentially progressive.” WIRED contrasts that pitch with Palantir’s military and ICE work and his $1 million donation to MAGA, Inc. in 2024. But the label isn’t new: WIRED notes he called himself progressive in 2018 and donated $360,000 to a Biden-Harris fundraising committee in 2023.
