Palantir Technologies Inc., founded in 2003 and headquartered in Colorado, is a data and analytics company serving the agendas of government agencies, militaries, and corporations. Co-founders are Peter Thiel, Stephen Cohen, Joe Lonsdale, Alex Karp, and Nathan Gettings.
"CEO of Palantir Technologies Alex Karp called the defense and data behemoth "the first company to be completely anti-woke" during an earnings call on Monday [Nov 3, 2025].
Karp lauded those who work for Palantir as supporting free speech and "fighting for the right side of what should work in this country — meritocracy, lethal technology."

"We power ICE," Karp said on Monday. "We've supported Israel. Okay, these are very controversial. I don't know why this is all controversial, but many people find that controversial."
On the earnings call, Karp said he makes "sure Palantir stays as tribal and cultish and unique as it was 20 years ago" by recruiting "the right people."

In his shareholder letter, Karp also preached a "return to a shared national experience" and an "embrace of a common identity."
"It is and was a mistake to casually proclaim the equality of all cultures and cultural values," he wrote, without expounding upon which cultures he was referring to. "Some have proven to be wondrous and generative. Others destructive and deeply regressive. And an even greater mistake is to believe that we could or should convert the world to our way of living."

Robert Reich called it "the most dangerous corporation in America," as "billions of your tax dollars" go to it and it "may put your most basic freedoms at risk." (Dec 2, 2025)
Super interesting reporting on Palantir‘s efforts to be used in Swiss governmental services and the military. They decided against it, because they worried Palantir was giving information to CIA and NSA and feared a loss of national sovereignty. www.republik.ch/2025/12/08/w...
