Palantir CEO Alex Karp says Senator Bernie Sanders will later regret proposing that the public hold 50% ownership of AI companies. Speaking in an interview with CNBC, Karp frames Sanders’ position as moderate relative to what he argues is coming, saying that full nationalization is the trajectory. Karp also suggests that views like Sanders’ will not seem progressive over time, predicting that within about two years people will see the proposal as limited because it does not go far enough.
In the comments highlighted by outlets, Karp presents himself as aligned with progressive politics, telling CNBC he considers himself a “card-carrying” progressive, while also referring to personal descriptors and speculation about his identity, including remarks that some people think he is neurodivergent. The articles discuss Karp’s characterization of Sanders’ AI ownership proposal and his prediction that public ownership would expand beyond 50%.
No additional details on specific legislative proposals or timelines beyond Karp’s remarks are included in the provided coverage.
