Palantir CEO Alex Karp said on Wednesday French restrictions limiting government use of US-made software were proving counterproductive.

Karp said Europe’s regulatory environment was hurting competitiveness.



Unpopular point to make but Karp might be one of the most dangerously intelligent members of the broligrarchy. It’s worth watching his moves even if “CEO sales pitch” doesn’t feel like news.
