In a recent interview, Alex Karp runs Palantir, a data analytics firm, steering its growth. He says AI could make a few high‑IQ people very rich, catapulting them into elite wealth, 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 potential danger. Karp says AI could also worsen the gap between the very rich and everyone else, widening the divide, 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, despite unknowns, a projection that reflects his confidence.
