Hegseth: "Project Meridian will be co-led by three of our nation's best minds: Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich"

3:33 PM · Sep 30, 2026

(still image from a video of United States Secretary of the Department of Defense Pete Hegseth speaking on a stage with an oversized American flag as the backdrop behind him)Excerpt from Wikipedia entry for Palmer Lucky:

Luckey's sister, Ginger Luckey, is married to former U.S. representative Matt Gaetz.[80]

Luckey is a collector of military vehicles; he owns a Mark V Special Operations Craft that he bought from the US Navy, two submarines, six helicopters, including a Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk, among other items.[79][81]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmer_LuckeyExcerpt from Wikipedia entry for Palmer Lucky:

In September 2016, Luckey donated $10,000 to an organization called "Nimble America" with the stated purpose of "educating the community on our ideals of America First, Smart Trade, Legal Immigration, and Ethical Behavior."[26] Luckey offered to match further contributions from r/The_Donald users for 48 hours after the announcement.[28] Luckey later issued an apology, stating on his Facebook page, "I am deeply sorry that my actions are negatively impacting the perception of Oculus and its partners."[68] He stated that he acted independently, not as a representative of Oculus VR.[68] The Wall Street Journal later reported that Luckey had been pressured into making this statement as a condition of employment.[37]

In October 2020, Luckey hosted a fundraiser for Donald Trump at his home in Lido Isle, Newport Beach, with the president in attendance.[69][70] The fundraiser had tickets ranging from $2,800 per person to $150,000 per couple,[71] and there were gatherings both for and against President Trump in Newport Beach outside during the event.[72]

On June 8, 2024, Luckey co-hosted another fundraiser for Trump at the home of health insurance company co-founder John Word, where donors spent up to $100,000 per person to attend.[73]

Voting early means your voice is locked in and safe, days before anyone else can decide what happens next, and it gives you room to fix anything that goes wrong, a signature mismatch, a missing form, waiting in a line that's too long, or not being able to make it if your shift runs late.
