The Daily · Inside the Tech Company Powering Trump’s Most Controversial Policies · 16 Dec 2025 podcast

He knows what it looks and sounds like.

And he's basically asking us to believe that what we're seeing here is not what many people fear, that this is not incipient authoritarianism, that the Trump presidency is nothing out of the ordinary.

And the question is, do you take his word for it?

And so this really does come down in a certain sense to how much you trust Alex Karp, how much you trust his assessment of Donald Trump and of the policies the Trump administration is pursuing.

Karp has said very candidly that Palantir's technology can be used for good or bad.

If abuse has happened, you trust Alex Karp to pull the plug on the work that Palantir is doing with government agencies.

And do you trust him to correctly assess when that's happening?

And do you trust him ultimately to be willing to sacrifice Palantir's business interest in defense of those values?

Thank you for having me.
