Palantir CEO biography addresses whether ‘full MAGA’ has gone ahead of publication

Palantir CEO Alex Karp defended his support President Donald Trump railed against protesters in an exclusive interview Thursday on “The Clayman Countdown.”

“I’m really supportive of the president’s, border and national security issues,” Karp said. “Those are the only two things I actually focus on.”

Karp has defended his support for Trump ahead of the Nov. 4 release of a new book about the tech leader and Palantir. Axios reports the book, written by journalist Michael Steinberger, traces how Karp went from a self-described progressive to a “full-on MAGA.”

“(Trump) is a really peaceful president,” Karp said. “At Palantir, the idea, and one that I support a lot, is, you know, you want to be strong enough that there won’t be any wars. Wars are really bad.”

He explained why he hopes a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia will “profoundly” improve the lives of many.

“As we’ve seen, the president is absolutely busy,” Karp said. “But I’m proud that we’ve been able to support (the Ukrainians). And they’re very, very tough people. I think they’ll keep fighting until they feel they can accept it.”
