Palantir CEO criticizes corporate America's silence on Israel after October 7 attack
Palantir CEO Alex Karp criticized corporate America for its silence following the October 7 attack on Israel, accusing companies of failing to stand up against anti-American sentiments. Karp named only three companies, including Palantir, that publicly supported Israel. He called for business leaders to address this issue and emphasized the need for change. The Reagan National Defense Forum's National Defense Survey revealed that most Americans support increased military spending and providing security assistance to Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, while viewing China as the greatest threat. Confidence in the American military remains low.
