Tokens, Alpha, and a Wealth Tax: Alex Karp, the CEO of Palantirs On-Air Takedown of Sam and Dario

Palantir CEO Alex Karp used a CNBC interview meant to promote a new Nvidia partnership to deliver a pointed critique of OpenAI and Anthropic’s token-based pricing — calling it a “wealth tax” that extracts enterprise data without delivering matching value, and naming Sam Altman and Dario Amodei directly. This episode breaks down exactly what Karp said, separates his real argument from his obvious commercial interest, covers the mixed social reaction, confirms neither OpenAI nor Anthropic has responded, and previews what to watch next as the enterprise AI pricing debate heats up.
