“A friend is someone that supports you in difficult times.” “If someone’s still supporting you when the chips are down—that’s a friend.” “Fairweather friends are useless.” “Everyone likes you when the chips are up, but who likes you when the chips are down?” Elon Musk with Nikhil Kamath

Peter Thiel on fraud and USAID: “Something like Palantir ends up being a constraint on government action.” “A lot of abuses, the most extreme overreach happens where people thought there would be no accountability ever inside the government.” “There probably were a lot of deep state excesses that happen where, if Palantir had been used, there would have been more of a record of what people were doing.” “The people at NSA believed whatever power the software gave them, it also limited their power because there would be more accountability.” “Something like this is what Oliver North was charged with in the 1980s, that he engaged in fraud because he had mischaracterized various payments. If we want to be aggressive, so many of the people working at USAID could be charged with fraud like Oliver North was charged with fraud.” Via The Rubin Report

Palantir CEO Alex Karp’s secret to staying physically fit enough to run Palantir: “Copy the Norwegians.” “Run like a snail—run at the pace you walk at, get a band, stay in Zone 1.” “Do that as much as possible and over a long period of time, you will transform your health.”

Palantir CEO Alex Karp on Zohran Mamdani and NYC: “We’re about to probably have a complete disaster. I was born in New York. “If you asked, ‘do these things actually work?’ Everyone’s like, ‘of course I’m not going to vote for that.’ Instead they ask, ‘does it work in theory?’

Peter Thiel on why he chose to live in Miami over other cities: “Austin’s a government town, a college town, and a wannabe hipster San Francisco town— 3 strikes and you’re out.” “From 5th grade since 1977 I lived in California. I’m just a sucker for the weather.” Via Joe Rogan

.Palmer Luckey on the importance of having a large American flag displayed in your building: "There were a bunch of flags that flew on the Facebook campus." "You had a pirate flag, an Instagram flag, a gay pride flag, a world peace flag, there was a Black Lives Matter fist for a while." "No American flag." "And that was because, if you asked them at the time, 'Are you an American company?' The official answer, and this is not me making it up, this is what they testified under oath to Congress, they said, 'We are an international organization that transcends borders.'" "When you have a place where most of the people did not grow up in a country with its values, you're going to end up inherently with a place that much more greatly centers its care outside of the United States and prioritize things outside of the United States." "You might remember the Claude Constitution at Anthropic. Its publicly posted constitution was that it consider all answers from a perspective that does not unduly weigh Western perspectives or values. It was explicitly being told to not value these things that the West has decided that are important around your self-governance, freedom of association, freedom of speech that we mostly still have and the Europeans are forgetting about."

Peter Thiel trolls Joe Lonsdale on fixing Austin (and basically says to run for President instead (my interpretation)): “You’re selling yourself short.” “If Austin can be fixed, you’ll be the one to fix it. If it can’t, I’ll be the one to have told you so.” “There are some other things you can do other than fixing Austin.” Via American Optimist

.Elon Musk says he was literally “all in” betting everything he owned on Tesla and SpaceX when his third rocket failed and Peter Thiel stepped in to save SpaceX: “My buddies from PayPal saved my butt.” “Peter Thiel’s been a big supporter. He invested in SpaceX at an important time in 2008. Before orbit. After our 3rd failure but before success:” “Big credit to Peter and Luke Nosek and the other guys at Founders Fund. Basically my buddies from PayPal.”

Palantir CEO Alex Karp says enterprises want to "own the means of production" instead of "transferring their alpha" to OpenAI or Anthropic: "Why are [LLMs] charging for tokens if it's so valuable?" "If it was so valuable—let's say I can make you a billion dollars tomorrow. Wouldn't I say, 'I'll make you a billion dollars, and I want 30%?'" "Look at our financials. The reason why everyone is chillaxing with bad financials and growth while losing money, is the client refuses to pay the true cost." "The two places that actually make money—profit, free cash flow—are our application layer called ontology, and compute." "We can get the frontier application to be exactly the same as a frontier model without the risk of transferring the alpha of your business to another." Via CNBC

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: why does no one care about the working class? “1% of people in this country are in prison. Do you know what happens when you go to prison? They take you away from your kids. “That happens disproportionately to working class, black and Hispanic men, and white men in the underclass. Where are the thousands of articles about them? “Somehow none of us have empathy for those people because none of us really deal with those people. At Palantir, we are on the side of working class Americans.” Via DealBook Andrew Ross Sorkin

Palantir CEO Dr. Alex Karp: “You need a higher purpose, and I think you often need a lower purpose. Andrew Ross 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.”
