Palantir CEO Alex Karp says Peter Thiel is so misunderstood in Europe that Germany effectively lost their most successful investor: "I think the treatment of Peter is atrocious." "I think the question historically one would have asked in Germany is: can we afford this? Can we afford not to learn from this person?" "The German tech scene should be #2 in the world by any historical standard. Honestly, the German tech scene was the #1 in the world, so #2 is already, like, maybe shouldn't be the aspiration." "It's on no one's list." " The largest company in Germany by market cap, I think, is Siemens, and Palantir is significantly larger, even where we're obviously undervalued currently." "I've known Peter Since we were poor students at Stanford. We had conversations as poor students fighting about intellectual things. He was always heterodox right. I was always heterodox left. I don't think much has changed. He's still heterodox right, meaning he's very frustrating to classic Republicans." "He's never been a neocon. He actually does not really believe in classic Republican economic theory. He was the first person to flag and will always flag—you tend to have people on the right basically explaining all problems as the result of capitalism not being driven far enough." " That's just not Peter's view." "He's not a simplistic or a caricature thinker on the right. And he's definitely not the caricature that the left wants to present." "But what's fascinating to me is—why is it so important to spend so much time blocking Peter from the German market?" "It's so obviously thin what they're saying about him, what they say about Palantir, so obviously doesn't make sense on the merits. You only need 10 minutes, 5 minutes on Google to see this isn't true."
