Palantir CEO Alex Karp: It's dangerous to allow discrimination on our college campuses
Palantir CEO Alex Carp never won to hold back. He has now been calling out Corporate America. For its following Hamas attack on Israel October 7th, here’s we had to see yesterday in Washington about the protests across college campuses. And potentially hiring from them as well. Of course, I’ve been calling out the thin, corrosive, cancerous ideology that regresses below. Judaism, Islam and Christianity in any way from Western thought that is now a Pagan religion infecting our universities because it’s dangerous to America. It is dangerous to allow discrimination on our college campuses simply because the people are being discriminated against are viewed as successful. That is really dangerous.

Hey, you want a tech scene that can support your GDP, you’ve got to have. A free, open, meritocratic, diverse, intellectually curious environment where you get to keep the equity that you build. Like we’re we’re we’re we’re just not showing up for that debate. And that is the debate where we win or lose. It was a fascinating conversation. Nobody held back. Eric Schmidt was part of that panel. David Cohen, former CIA Director, Deputy Director, was part of that panel. And it was quite something to see them all debate the future of war technologies. Impact on it just his His take on these things always, always makes you think on a different enigma wrapped in a Riddle. You always emphasize I’m a progressive, and then he goes on to just sound like a huge right winger. Right. Well, and and but but you know where he’s voting, so there you can. I don’t know where he’s voting. I don’t really care. But he’s a Biden guy. I don’t think he’s a Trump guy anyway. Well, that could. You know, there’s a lot of reasons why people do one thing or the other.
