Palantir CEO Alex Karp said on Wednesday French restrictions limiting government use of US-made software were proving counterproductive. His comments followed France’s decision to replace Palantir with domestic provider ChapsVision at intelligence agency DGSI over data sovereignty concerns. Karp said Europe’s regulatory environment was hurting competitiveness.

Counterproductive to Palantir's profits perhaps, not to French data sovereignty.

A bit of growing pain is expected - if they keep it up on long term they will be better off.

CEO makes sales pitch is hardly news

This is a salesman giving a sales pitch. I wouldn’t say that’s newsworthy.

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.

It’s difficult to be even more off-putting than Elon, but I think Alex has what it takes.

I can’t get over how much this CEO looks like an exaggerated sitcom character.

He kind of reminds me of Brad Dourif in death machine. Same insanity vibe but less cool.
