Alex Karp, the cofounder and CEO of the software company Palantir, said that Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency would disrupt the US government — and that it would be good for Americans and the company he leads.

"We love disruption, and whatever is good for America will be good for Americans and very good for Palantir," Karp said in response to a question about DOGE during the company's quarterly earnings call on Monday.

"Disruption, at the end of the day, exposes things that aren't working," he said. "There will be ups and downs. There's a revolution. Some people are going to get their heads cut off. We're expecting to see really unexpected things and to win."

Two weeks into President Donald Trump's second term, the DOGE-induced disruptions have included moves to dismantle the US Agency for International Development, the agency that handles US foreign aid, and buyouts for federal workers.
