Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir Technologies, on Saturday slammed companies that remained silent after the Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel.<\/p>\n
During a panel discussion at the Reagan National Defense Forum, Karp condemned corporate America for its “abysmal failure at standing up to people who are anti-American, who are breathing the vapors of a thin new religion at elite schools.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said many of these people “actually believe it would be better to have the world run by China than by America.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
