About Palmer Luckey

Palmer Freeman Luckey is an American entrepreneur best known as the founder of Oculus VR and designer of the Oculus Rift, a virtual reality headset that is widely credited with reviving the virtual reality industry. In February 2022, Luckey announced that Anduril had won a $1 billion contract to lead counter-unmanned systems work for United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM). In 2017, Luckey was fired from Facebook (owner of Oculus at that time) and founded military contractor Anduril Industries, a military technology company focused on autonomous drones and sensors for military applications. The jury found that Luckey had violated a non-disclosure agreement he had with ZeniMax, but awarded zero damages on this charge, judging the harm as de minimis.
