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,” (cnbc.com/2026/06/26/openai-anthropic-new-ai-sp…) national security, global AI competition, and Palantir’s expanded partnership with Nvidia (cnbc.com/video/2025/10/28/palantir-and-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 (cnbc.com/2026/06/30/anthropic-says-trump-admin…) models, Nike has reported its quarterly earnings (cnbc.com/2026/06/30/nike-nke-q4-2026-earnings.…), and President Trump’s annual financial disclosure report (cnbc.com/2026/06/30/trump-financial-disclosure…) is making headlines.
