Alex Karp rips into the Palantir conspiracy theorists: “You're attacking the person who's protecting you— idiot.” “You may hate this, but there's one person protecting your rights to be a conspiracy theorist that actually has a seat at the table, and that person is me.” “You may not want to hear that truth, but it's fucking true.” “Maybe do a little more reading before you pontificate on your absurd and obviously ill-formed and many times stupid opinions.” “It's like fucking so stupid.” Via @tbpn

I never wanted to fail you all.. I'm sorry 💌
For most of my life, I lived by a simple code: find the mission, crush the objective..
I was a kid, enlisted at 17 years old.. in the National Guard chasing parachutes and hunting for active-duty slots, obsessed with the next objective, and bettering myself.
I was a kid working in a food truck at SpaceX Starship, cooking for the "OG starship" team, for Elon, and for the engineers who were rewriting history. I didn’t just serve them food, I provided the best customer service I could.. Eventually, I traded the spatula for a welding torch and a torque wrench.. becoming certified in TIG and Integration and Test Operations becoming a level 4 Integration Test Technician in less than 2 years.. I was at the heart of the Starship program. For sure I had my fair share of successes and failures, but I was in the arena. I was made of grit and mission, I loved it so much.
When I moved to Seattle to join Stoke, I started a new kind of mission: I was learning to be human and about to start my college journey for computer science. I was learning patience, consciousness, and how to take life for what it is. I still worked all day and every day, and in negative degree Fahrenheit temperatures.
Then, the world collapsed...
My mother became terminally ill. The aerospace startup company I was with supported me with remote work and a level of patience that I still find unbelievable, and for that, I am forever grateful.. But nothing prepares a child—soldier or not—for the battlefield of a parent’s final hours..
I was there for the *last* dark words of hers.. all before the chaos started... she looked at me and said just once: "Ya me quiero morir." In english: "I want to die already" she couldn't take any more years of suffering and pain..
What followed was a traumatic "mind fuck" of false promises because in less than an hour, she had six code blues back to back. My rigorous side triggered a stoic, cold reaction. I stayed calm, observed and supported the medical team with decisions... Suggestions... I observed the ER roles. When the team was stretched thin, I was the one monitoring her vitals; I was the one calling out the code blues.
Every time she stabilized, my brain would trick itself thinking "we are back!". I’d look at the data and think, We’ve hit the floor. We’re stable again. But there was no floor. It was a rollercoaster of false hope, and every decision I made to keep her in the fight felt like I was only hurting her more.. I wouldn't stop until the likelihood of resuscitation was zero. I suppose I selfishly held on until I had to make the choice to let her go.
Shortly after, my grandmother—the second woman who raised me—passed away in hospice. Both anchors were gone man..
I didn't know how to handle the silence. I texted my manager at the aerospace startup in Seattle - a man I respected from our Starship days—and then I ghosted the company... Never shown back up.. ignored HR...
I couldn't face the aerospace community.
I couldn't face the missions.
I felt like I had let everyone down, and that guilt, combined with the "Do Not Rehire" status that followed, made me feel like I had burned my life to the ground.
To the teams at SpaceX and Stoke.. I am sorry. I didn't have the power to say goodbye. I only had the power to survive, and try to support my family and staying present..
Since then, I have been self-employed, and healty.
I have a saying that keeps me going: "You can literally keep your parents alive longer; all you have to do is work." It’s a desperate logic, but it’s mine. I have spent my days working 12+ hour shifts, overly obsessed with my goals, using the work as armor to keep the pain at bay. I work because if I stop, I have to hear the silent noise.
Learning to close this chapter. I'm resuming the project of being human. I am still a builder, still a soldier, and still possessed by a tenacity that won't let me quit— my sons first birthday. Life fades in, and fades out
