And over time, he grows increasingly disenchanted with the Democrats and the left.
Disenchantment that grows during the Biden presidency and that culminates with a massive event that ends up cementing his break with the Democrats, the October 7th terrorist attack in Israel.
Well, Karp is shaken by the events of October 7th, as many people were.
He's very supportive of Israel.
He sees Israel's security in very personal terms.
At one point, he had said to me that if things go sideways, Israel's a place I can go.
So it's very much bound up in this sense of vulnerability that he feels as someone who is Jewish.
And October 7th just kind of crystallizes all these fear and sense of vulnerability.
He says to me at one point, this is a survival situation.
And he means that as much for himself as it is for other people.
Palantir already has an office in Tel Aviv.
Software has been used by the Mossad for a number of years.
But not long after October 7th, it sends multiple engineers there because the Israeli Defense Forces want to use the software.
There's interest from Shin Bet, which is the domestic intelligence services.
And Carp's view is we're going to give them anything and everything they need.
Palantir takes out a full-page ad in the New York Times saying that Palantir stands with Israel.
And this messaging is not just directed at the general public, it's also directed at Palantir employees.
Because he says to me, privately, that he wants it understood that whereas he was very willing to tolerate the dissent back during the first Trump presidency over Palantir's work with ICE...
He's really not in the mood to tolerate any internal dissent over the work Palantir is doing to support Israel after October 7th.
We've lost employees.
