$PLTR The news media today is just finding out about Alex Karp's progressive stance and trying to frame it as him shifting to appeal to the results of the midterms. In reality, the compilation below shows how many countless times Dr. Karp has communicated his progressive beliefs, even when it wasn't popular to do so. Building a company like Palantir requires you to thrive under any administration because national security is not blue or red. To assume that Dr. Karp is appealing to the winners of the midterms completely ignores everything he has said about his political views and that he has kept his stance consistent even with his co-founder, Peter Thiel, being on the opposite side of the political spectrum. This is not someone who is changing his beliefs to appeal to any party given he literally built a $500B company with someone who has different political beliefs from him. Part of the reason Palantir works is because people with different perspectives can build a company and work in the middle without being polarized left or right because they are focused on one thing only: providing value to their partners and making sure that no matter what political party is in power, the country comes first.
