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.

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 05r84uGOd3N cmtfjuFS1BU OK4iKlj2xLp zSfzEZtucmq IXN5Xq6t0RN 1oiprfvglb5
