In a recent interview, Alex Karp runs Palantir, a controversial tech firm, steering its growth. He says AI could make a few high‑IQ people very rich, turning them into overnight billionaires, and reshape wealth patterns. On July 24, 2026 he called these people "odd IQ shapes you wouldn’t want to have over for dinner", a comment that drew eyebrows, a description that many found unsettling, a looming threat. Karp says AI could also worsen the gap between the very rich and everyone else, expanding the wealth chasm, with policy eyes on it, 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, acknowledging risks, indicating his bullish stance.
