When Palantir chief executive Alex Karp sat down with Politico this week, he reportedly used the word “progressive” eight times to describe both his political philosophy and his company.
“I’ve been a Democrat my whole life,” Karp told Politico, which noted that he called the Democratic Party “totally irresponsible” in the distant time of October 2025. “I know more about being a progressive than almost anybody on the planet, and I absolutely believe Palantir—all of our products are essentially progressive.”
