Palantir CEO Alex Karp, who gave $2M to Republicans, now says he is a Democrat

Palantir CEO Alex Karp told Politico he has been a Democrat his whole life and called Palantir’s products “essentially progressive,” a week after Democrats swept the US midterms. Karp’s company helps power ICE deportations, and he put roughly $2 million into largely Republican causes, including MAGA Inc. and Trump’s inauguration. He says his giving is balanced. Karp is open to backing a Democrat in 2028 as Congress readies tech probes.
