Palmer Luckey Warns Silicon Valley Controls Democracy

Palmer Luckey, founder of defense contractor Anduril, tells the New York Post that Google’s 2018 exit from Project Maven and similar corporate refusals have concentrated power in Silicon Valley executives rather than elected officials. He highlights Anduril’s growth—about a $60 billion valuation—and the deployment of autonomous systems in Ukraine and border operations, urging greater political oversight of private military influence.
