Palantir CEO: Hitler's charisma was a major force behind Nazism.
In a conversation with Walter Isaacson on the Builders podcast, Palantir CEO Alex Karp stated that his conversations with former Nazis in Germany convinced him that Hitler's charisma and exploitation of patriotism were powerful motives for supporting Nazism.
Karp acknowledged anti-Semitism as a motive, but argued that Hitler's personal inwardness also played a major role, drawing comparisons to the appeal of radical movements on both the left and the right today.
