Tim Miller

The guy likes to argue.

You know, many of our conversations were essentially arguments when I was young.

When I was reporting the book, it's like, you know, he likes to he likes to engage in intellectual combat.

And, you know, he feels that he's got positions that to defend, that he can that he can defend.

And he wants to be out there.

He does not.

You saw it with that interview with Sorkin.

He became loaded for bear and he wants to take on the critics.

He wants to challenge Palantir's critics.

And the thing is, you have to also recognize that he's kind of like.

elon musk now and you know carp has developed a very very strong retail fan base who think that he can't do anything wrong so that's the audience he's playing to so while people saw that interview they see other interviews and they say what the hell is with this guy carp's fans are like oh my god give me more of that so he's kind of playing to that's kind of becoming a meme stock there's a little bit of a meme stock play to it

Well, there is a little bit of that.

I mean, he's got you know, it's got that these very loyal retail investors.

They refer to him as Papa Carp and Daddy Carp.

And, you know, it's always Palantir to the moon and they're buying all the Palantir swag.

And so they're eating all this up.

He likes to be out there jousting with people.
