In a recent interview, Alex Karp runs Palantir, a controversial tech firm, guiding its roadmap. He says AI could make a few high‑IQ people very rich, turning them into overnight billionaires, 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 raised eyebrows, a potential danger. Karp says AI could also worsen the gap between the very rich and everyone else, expanding the wealth chasm, under increasing scrutiny, a trend he believes is accelerating. He thinks his own fortune might explode 20 times if Palantir’s AI bets pay off, a potential windfall he anticipates, though he admits uncertainty, a projection that reflects his confidence.
