In a recent interview, Alex Karp runs Palantir, the big‑data company, guiding its roadmap. 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 remark that sparked chatter, that raised eyebrows, a looming threat. Karp says AI could also worsen the gap between the very rich and everyone else, expanding the wealth chasm, under increasing scrutiny, that appears to be growing faster. He thinks his own fortune might explode 20 times if Palantir’s AI bets pay off, a potential windfall he anticipates, though he admits uncertainty, showing his optimism.
