$PLTR cofounder @JTLonsdale on Europe’s lack of tech companies🔮 05:15 “it’s very easy to break the innovation economy. When I was at PayPal as a kid, there were multiple times when Spitzer here in NY almost took it out. He came very close to taking it out… if he had succeeded, we would not have Tesla, we would not have LinkedIn, we would not have YouTube, we would not have SpaceX…” “That’s what happened in the EU. In the EU, the regulators are just a little more powerful, just a little more obnoxious, and all the sudden, there’s dozens of companies that would’ve existed that don’t.”

A clip from one of the best recent interviews of $PLTR cofounder @JTLonsdale 🔮 00:04 “you don’t learn how to build Palantir by going to work at Google” 02:39 “Thank goodness there’s people like Alex Karp, my Stanford roommate and cofounder Stephen Cohen, people like our CTO @ssankar… 05:24 Joe talks about hosting a dinner with $TSLA CEO @elonmusk and $META CEO Mark Zuckerberg 10 years ago, and talking about AI. “Mark was on the much more optimistic side and Elon was on the, ‘wow this could destroy the world’ side of things.” 05:45 “Does AI become the messiah?” “That’s a fun debate to have over a few drinks and cigars” 06:25 “Palantir is a great way to play AI and productivity. It’s helping a ton of companies doing things they couldn’t do otherwise. They come in and in one week, do things the company couldn’t do in a year with their data and AI. 07:50 Joe on working at PayPal with Elon, @peterthiel @DavidSacks @mlevchin @reidhoffman. “I wrote about my lessons from Peter Thiel online” LINK BELOW 👇 09:20 “[Elon] is the only friend I have who is bolder than me in basically everything, which is actually somewhat humbling. 12:20 Josh asked what Joe looks for when hiring someone: “Are you looking for experience, background, university pedigree?” Joe when he hears “university pedigree”: 😏 Via @YahooFinance @joshuahlipton
The wealth and beauty destroyed - never created - thanks to left wing authoritarians is necessarily hidden and intangible, but it’s immense here in the US… and even larger in Europe.

It must be very disheartening for the hopeful tech entrepreneurs in Europe. We’ll never know if there could have been a European “PayPal Mafia” (although I do think that group is one of a kind). But either way, there’s a vast, uncountable amount of money and tech just left on the table. Sad to see.

It's a good point - Europe needs to be very mindful. Will be interested if they take this feedback on board.

That is a powerful and logical statement. Excellent point.

Lonsdale is a zionist sociopath but he is also wrong - all those other companies would have been created regardless of PayPal - maybe even faster
This guy softly confessed to participating in literal war crimes in the same interview. What a wild ride.
This is correct and the EU is trying to break the USA tech advantage hence the law-fare against so many of our great companies. The USA needs to start hauling their best companies in court here over their monopolies or pricing structures!

That’s bullshit. Silicon Valley’s golden years were under Bill Clinton & Al Gore, who kept Wall St’s hands off the nascent Internet. After the GOP stole the 2000 vote they were much too busy grifting off 911 & Iraq to fuss over computer hippies, save for killing any enviro regs.
