Summary

Palmer Luckey was twenty years old when he founded the virtual reality company 'Oculus' and two years later he sold it to Meta for two billion dollars. Fired by Meta shortly after, Luckey founded defense technology company 'Anduril Industries' and has been contracted by the Department of Defense to develop the next generation of autonomous military capabilities. Anduril is one of only a handful of Silicon Valley tech companies that work with the Pentagon. FOX's Jennifer Griffin speaks with Palmer Luckey, engineer and founder of defense-tech startup Anduril, about his story and why it is so important for more American tech companies to work with the Department of Defense to develop the weaponry of the future.
