Palantir CEO Alex Karp: CEOs are Livid 7/1/26

Palantir CEO Alex Karp is fired up about the costs of AI lab tokens–and he assures us that every other CEO is angry, too. In a passionate interview, Karp addresses “tokenmaxxing,” national security, global AI competition, and Palantir’s expanded partnership with Nvidia. Then, two teens from opposite sides of the political aisle have come together to write a book about bipartisanship. Larra Mullin, daughter of DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, and Ellie Gottheimer, daughter of Congressman Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), discuss their upbringing in and out of Washington, D.C. Plus, stocks are kicking off the second half of 2026 after a strong performance in the first, the U.S. government has lifted export controls on Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, Nike has reported its quarterly earnings, and President Trump’s annual financial disclosure report is making headlines.
