Palantir CEO goes on another unhinged rant

Outrage is rightly growing at the decision of the UK government to award a huge NHS contract to genocide-collaborating US software firm Palantir. The company’s CEO Alex Karp is just one of its unhinged top executives – but he’s way (way, way, way) out there. And he’s perfectly prepared to say out loud that there are few, if any, tactics he’s not ready to resort to. Including spraying piss laced with a deadly drug onto journalists he doesn’t like:

Karp: “You need a higher purpose, and I think you often need a lower purpose.”

Andrew Sorkin: “What’s your lower purpose?”

Karp: “I love the idea of getting a drone and having light fentanyl-laced urine spraying on analysts that tried to screw us.”

Fentanyl is a deadly opioid drug 50-100 times stronger than heroin. US president Donald Trump uses fake claims of shipping it as an excuse to murder fishermen and kidnap Venezuela’s president – with the help of Karp’s company. Dealing in fentanyl is terrorism, according to Trump. Karp, however, wants to spray it on innocent critics – but clearly that’s ok because he’s a Trump backer.

It ought to be unbelievable, but isn’t, that this isn’t an aberration for Karp – or even his wildest comment. In 2025, he boasted of how his company kills people for profit. He is also a fan of genocide who has claimed that the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians Palantir helped Israel murder in Gaza are “mostly terrorists”:

Palantir shouldn’t be anywhere near the NHS. It should be banned altogether in the UK and in a sane world Karp should be on trial for genocide.
