In a recent interview, Alex Karp runs Palantir, a data analytics firm, steering its growth. He says AI could make a few high‑IQ people very rich, giving them massive fortunes, altering the status quo. On July 24, 2026 he called these people "odd IQ shapes you wouldn’t want to have over for dinner", a remark that sparked chatter, that sparked debate, a potential danger. Karp says AI could also worsen the gap between the very rich and everyone else, expanding the wealth chasm, even as regulators watch, a trend he believes is accelerating. He thinks his own fortune might explode 20 times if Palantir’s AI bets pay off, a surge he envisions, though he admits uncertainty, a projection that reflects his confidence.
