15,000 hectares of Swedish forest have reportedly been sold for extraction to Alex Karp, co-founder of the data analytics firm Palantir, at a price of roughly $1,600 per hectare. Critics online are condemning the sale, pointing to Karp's Palantir work on military targeting systems and questioning large-scale foreign acquisition of Swedish natural resources.
