In today's newsletter I wrote about Palmer Luckey. He's quite the dipshit! www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...

No, he is not the CEO of a private equity firm that focuses solely on investment in Renaissance festivals. He's the virtual reality/autonomous defense technology mogul who has made billions in the drone space.
You will not be surprised that Luckey's company, Anduril, got going with backing from Peter Thiel. He, along with Elon Musk and Newt Gingrich, were tapped last year by the Pentagon to co-lead a task force that will lead efforts to modernize and map out the future of American warfare. Again, one might be excused for thinking that Luckey's experience with warfare is limited to playing the role of a Templar/Inquisitor Paladin at some of your better-funded LARPs, but he's a legit defense/tech contractor. And now that I say that out loud it's pretty obvious that he's going for the Tony Stark look, even if he is failing pretty badly at it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vevk6lgrt6o4wncrbp7joij3/bafkreiheuiteff5b63qbvrqlqki2o4mmtysbnhtsyen3fedlvwyro5gxfm)
