Gizmodo: Palantir CEO Says Making War Crimes Constitutional Would Be Good for Business [View all]

Palantir CEO and Trump ally Alex Karp is no stranger to controversial (troll-ish even) comments. His latest one just dropped: Karp believes that the U.S. boat strikes in the Caribbean (which many experts believe to be war crimes) are a moneymaking opportunity for his company.

Karp has never been shy to give his full support to violence that he deems necessary. In a letter to investors from earlier this year, Karp quoted a political scientist to say that the “rise of the West was not made possible ‘by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion… but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence.'”

He has also been vocal about his stance against open borders. Karp has repeatedly praised Trump’s immigration policy and offered Palantir’s services to ICE.

“I’m going to use my whole influence to make sure this country stays skeptical on migration and has a deterrent capacity that it only uses selectively,” the Palantir chief said on Wednesday.
