Palantir CEO Slams Silicon Valley's ‘Engineering Elites’ Social Justice Warriors

Lots of people don't like this company. But it's hard to argue with this guy's take on things.
[ZH] Somehow, we missed this little easter egg buried in Palantir's S-1, which was released Tuesday afternoon.

In what was titled a "Letter from Palantir's Chief Executive Officer", Palantir's CEO Alex Karp lambasted Silicon Valley's monolithic progressive culture ensconced within companies like Google-owner Alphabet, where employees have rebelled against the company's work for the DoJ. In the letter, Karp defended Palantir's government work, and challenged the Silicon Valley "elite" to try thinking for themselves for once, instead of kowtowing to every progressive whim.

"The engineering elite of Silicon Valley may know more than most about building software. But they do not know more about how society should be organized or what justice requires," Karp wrote.

#2 Unless something has changed dramatically, there's nothing wrong with the Palantir products.
