Alex Karp has a tendency to say inflammatory things.
Now that he's made the press several times for this kind of thing, one has to wonder: does he make these statements because he believes them, or because the press that comes after such a statement is useful to him somehow? Does it endear him with the right kind of decision-maker? Does it just get attention? Or does it just direct press attention away from some other aspect of Palantir in a given newscycle?
It's not really relevant what he "actually believes". It's just like Elon's seig heil, who cares, the bits of information aren't in his actions but in the reaction to it. They want people to know what team they're on.
