"Anduril, the defense-technology startup Luckey founded in 2017 after his politically charged departure from Facebook, could be set for a $60 billion valuation."
"The company is riding a record surge in global defense spending and a shift in Silicon Valley sentiment toward working with the military, selling autonomous systems such as its Fury drone and Ghost Shark submarine."
"War in the Middle East-between high-tech planes on the side of the U.S. and Israel, and relatively low-tech drones and missiles on the side of Iran-is also revealing how current-day warfare is changing."
Palmer Luckey, founder of Anduril, expressed willingness to sell weapons to North Korea if the U.S. government requests it. Anduril, valued at $60 billion, benefits from increased global defense spending and a shift in Silicon Valley's military collaboration. The company provides autonomous systems like the Fury drone and Ghost Shark submarine to U.S. allies. Luckey's views position him at the intersection of military policy and tech influence, raising questions about the role of tech billionaires in warfare and international relations.
