Palmer Luckey, founder of Anduril, on patriotism and why he believes Silicon Valley has lost its American identity 🇺🇸 “I think a lot of Americans understand the problem. There are a lot of members of the uniparty here in the U.S. and abroad, and they buy a certain set of political values and social values that they largely didn’t decide for themselves. They’re isolated from the consequences of their decisions. I saw a lot of this when I was in Silicon Valley. I don’t want to beat up too much on Mark Zuckerberg, but I’ve got to go back to my time when I was there. There were a bunch of flags that flew on the Facebook campus. You had a pirate flag, an Instagram flag, a gay pride flag, a world peace flag. There was a Black Lives Matter fist for a while. No American flag. Culturally, it was true. They thought of themselves as part of this global elite type of person. I’m not saying there’s something bad about being an immigrant. But when you have a place where most of the people did not grow up in a country with its values, you’re going to end up with a place that much more greatly centers its care outside of the United States and prioritizes things outside of the United States.” Interesting to see someone speak out against the Silicon Valley “Davos” crew. Palmer is a polarizing figure but is known for authenticity.
