Alex Karp, Palantir Psycho

According to Microsoft Ai, here are some of Karp’s sociopathic aspects that make him a psychopath that helps militaries commit crimes like genocide (see Gaza).

🧬 Religious and Cultural Identity

• Jewish Heritage: Karp’s father, Robert Karp, is a Jewish pediatrician and civil rights activist2. Karp has publicly identified as Jewish and has been described as a “proud Jew” in media coverage.
• Mixed Background: His mother, Leah Jaynes Karp, is a Black artist, giving him a biracial heritage.
• Not Publicly Religious: While Karp identifies culturally as Jewish, he does not appear to be religiously observant or aligned with any specific denomination. His worldview is more philosophical and political than theological.

🇮🇱 Zionism and Support for Israel

• Karp has been vocally pro-Israel, especially in the context of recent conflicts. He has defended Palantir’s work with the Israeli military and dismissed criticism of civilian casualties.
• In a November 2023 public event, when confronted by a Palestinian-American activist who accused Palantir’s technology of contributing to the deaths of Palestinians, Alex Karp reportedly responded:
  “That’s true—mostly terrorists.”
  This was in response to criticism that Palantir’s AI and surveillance tools, used by the Israeli military, were enabling strikes that resulted in high civilian casualties in Gaza. Karp did not deny the claim outright—instead, he justified the deaths by asserting that most of those killed were terrorists.
• He has described anti-Israel protesters as adherents of a “pagan religion of mediocrity and violence,” and has mocked them in public forums.
• Critics have labeled him a “Jewish Zionist”, especially in light of Palantir’s role in Israeli surveillance and targeting operations.

🧠 Ideological Orientation

• Philosophical Influences: Karp holds a Ph.D. in neoclassical social theory from the University of Frankfurt and has studied German philosophy extensively.
• Anti-Woke, Anti-Progressive: He has repeatedly criticized progressive liberalism, calling it a “thin pagan religion” that is corroding Western institutions.
• Pro-National Security: Karp believes tech companies have a duty to support Western governments by making militaries “scary” in defending against terrorism and authoritarian threats.
