He was supposed to be the weird philosopher in the background. The awkward outsider with wild hair. The left-leaning intellectual. The German-speaking PhD who studied under thinkers most CEOs have never heard of. The guy who looked more like a professor than a defense contractor. But somehow, he ended up running one of the most powerful data companies on Earth. Philosopher. Billionaire. Martial artist. War-tech CEO. Government contractor. Silicon Valley outsider. And the man behind Palantir — the company accused of helping governments see everything. This is the disturbing story of how Alex Karp went from philosophy and politics to building software for spies, soldiers, police, and billion-dollar institutions — and how Palantir became one of the most controversial companies in the world. #AlexKarp #Palantir #Surveillance #SiliconValley #Biography AMAvbjw7VCI hUAmGl39acV g7jQPamXfhP IKMGkSk2a8h 1wGPLJa78J7 MzomHSzly0v 0Tn4jCP6e9L
