Part 3/9:
The transition from Oculus to Anduril was not a straightforward path for Luckey. After successfully launching Oculus and seeing its rapid growth within Facebook, he found himself embroiled in political controversy that ultimately led to his departure. Luckey's contributions to the tech industry earned him billions, but the way he was treated post-acquisition ignited his desire to tackle real-world challenges head-on, especially in defense.
Luckey's frustrations with the bureaucracies of defense contractors drove him towards creating Anduril, a company focused not only on weapons development but on leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomy to enhance defense capabilities for the U.S. military and its allies.
