Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) CEO Alex Karp used the company's latest earnings call to jab elite colleges and elevate on-the-job merit, saying the data analytics giant is building "a new credential independent of class," and that at Palantir, "no one cares about the other stuff," like an Ivy League diploma.
What Happened: "If you did not go to school, or you went to a school that's not that great, or you went to Harvard or Princeton or Yale, once you come to Palantir, you're a Palantirian, no one cares about the other stuff," Karp said during the company's second-quarter earnings call. "We are making a new credential independent of class and background at Palantir."
