NOTE

Alex Karp, Plantir, Peter Thiel

Alex Karp represents a contrasting ideology to many Silicon Valley billionaires, notably due to his strong interventionist stance on foreign policy. He advocates for American military involvement globally, including in Israel and Ukraine, viewing such actions as essential for maintaining national power and security. This perspective diverges from that of companies like Google and Apple, which have faced backlash for their reluctance to engage with military contracts. Karp highlights the paradox of wealthy individuals benefiting from American society while refusing to support the military that underpins that system. Palantir, under Karp's leadership, has consistently engaged with intelligence and military operations, illustrating a commitment to defense that aligns with his beliefs. Karp's company has remained involved in controversial initiatives, including disinformation campaigns related to WikiLeaks, showcasing a willingness to operate within complex moral and ethical landscapes. His candidness about these positions stands in contrast to the often-subversive tactics seen in his peers, offering a clearer, albeit controversial, stance on the symbiotic relationship between Silicon Valley and national security.
