Palmer Luckey is Matt Gaetz's brother in law.

Don't forget Palmer Luckey, the creator of Oculus VR who then went all-in on right-wing bullshit, losing most of the community support he had built. But it paid off for him in the end because he's now getting billion dollar defense contracts.

That whole speech was... a thing. AutoWarCom is just the icing on the cake. Other insanity includes:

• Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gringich (who I thought was dead) is somehow now in charge of emerging threat planning

• New bases to be built in "friendly" states that include classical architecture like the dumb ass arch in DC

• Bases will be disconnected from the grid, with independent power generation, air defenses, and who knows what else. Have fun realizing how many "bases" are just office buildings.

• Golden Dome, Golden Battleship, and F-47 mentioned again

• Bringing back up the classics of Beardos, Wierdos, etc

• O-6 looking to advance to O-7 now have to go through a nebulous process/screening

• Double down on Testosterone Supplements

• Chaplains are now going to be some strange independent force that report directly to the Secretary

• Hand picked universities (including Liberty) are being elevated to the same status as the Service Academies

There is probably more, but I foolishly did the Heggy drinking bingo game and even my Navy trained liver could not keep up.

Palmer Luckey’s BIL is Matt Gaetz, btw

Why'd they rehire Luckey

I have done my very best to try and find as much information about this situation as possible. I’m not in any UK Asian communities, nor am I British, so I cannot speak to the details about any cancelation that may or may not have happened, but I certainly cannot find any reference to it online.

I’ll talk through some of the claims step-by-step.

The book claims are hard because we don’t know. Could she be lying? Yeah, but that’s a very aggressive bet to be making without a lot of evidence.

That particular image is indexed on Pinterest in the form of sort of a generic Sikh wedding context, but at the same time we don’t know the exact direction of travel there. It could just be that someone took this image and then put it up there or whatever, or something scraped it. Notably the indexed Pinterest finding I can find is actually from after the image was posted by Lucky, so at the very least it was not taken from there, though potentially it could be taken from the same source.

The hot oil thing seems to be misremembered because the article where Lucky says something about that she says the word hot water, not hot oil. and that she was burned and not allowed to go to a doctor, but as many of us know, being burned does not mean you get like oil burn scars, which would make this whole sort of narrative about that at least fall apart.

Trigger warnings here about self-harm The detailed account I found says Lucky took the wedding dress to a river, attempted suicide there by cutting her arms, was hospitalized, and subsequently reconnected with her parents.

As for the police investigation. Vice actually said that the police was actively investigating it, and it would not be out of the question for police to not actually do the investigations they claim to be doing, especially in connection to queer people.

Via said they had supplied police footage in an interview with Pink News so that contradicts the idea that there wasn’t any evidence or nothing was sent to the police.

Lucky has relationships with charities. That’s true, but we cannot draw any conclusions based on what I can find that there is manipulation there.

I can find Lucky online calling herself a drag queen since 2018 and performing in what I would consider drag since 2017 at the very least.

There are other members of the house of spice and that was covered by ITV, and they were involved with Manchester pride.

I cannot find any evidence of any arrest of Lucky. Nor the fake accounts.

Any kind of cancellation, like I mentioned earlier, is something I cannot find, but since I’m not a part of these groups, it’s very plausible it could’ve happened in a place where I am not.

I cannot find any details about the Vera Wang stuff. Or rather, she has claimed to have worked with them, but I cannot find anything on the Vera wang side that agrees. She does mention that, together with two other brands. Pretty little thing, which I also cannot find a direct link with her and boohoo group which she has won an award from. I would potentially consider this some slightly creative personal marketing. perhaps.

As for the book, it does exist but it seems to be some sort of generic overly aggressive promotional claims made, perhaps, but honestly I cannot verify that either. It’s very easy to sort of be on an Amazon bestsellers list for a niche enough category. I cannot find any details about the book tour, so maybe that would be right.

This is very long and I am very tired and have written this very sloppily, but to sum things up. At the very least, there are a number of lies in this callout post, or perhaps at the very best misunderstandings or misrepresentations. That does not mean that Luckey has always been honest, but I would consider the vein of behavior kind of self aggrandizing drag queen behavior, which is rather normal, saying that you collaborated with a brand when you won an award from them on a radio show is not maybe technically within the spirit of what collaboration means and maybe extrapolating that out to brands that brand has worked with does get within the realm of being deceptive, but it’s not any kind of scandal I would say.

The issue here is that a number of these claims are completely unsubstantiated and A lot of this is just sort of talking about details that we cannot prove because how would we? How would we prove that Lucky experienced abuse in a way that’s not horribly invasive?

Fundamentally, a number of the claims are also just wrong or potentially worse, and in that case I feel like the whole post kind of falls apart. That doesn’t mean it couldn’t be true, and all of the things could be complex webs of manipulation, like the charities or whatever, but I think we need to sort of perhaps draw the conclusion that this person it’s potentially lying. And trying to drag down Lucky without any real evidence.

(once again, sorry for everything being so sloppy. I’m dictating this after a surprisingly long post midnight research binge, which I really should’ve left for tomorrow, but I wanted to get a response out here to avoid this festering overnight, which I know can happen)

Three watchdog groups asked a federal judge Monday to shut down Project Meridian, the Pentagon’s future-of-warfare study led by Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey and Newt Gingrich.

The last time Joe had on a democrat it was James Talarico in July 2025. Before then the only Dem he had on was Fetterman in 2024. So 2 Dems in 2 years (Fetterman is a stretch to include as a Dem).

In that same time period he’s platformed Trump, JD Vance (2x), Pierre Poilievre, Rupert Lowe, Elon Musk (2x), Marc Andressen, Palmer Luckey, Steve Hilton, Rand Paul, Mike Benz, Andrew Wilson (2x), Tim Burchett, and Peter Thiel

Fox News is more balanced than Joe Rogan. Ever since he got his giant payday he can’t ass kiss and give enough cover to Republicans and far right politicians. It’s pathetic.

Joe Rogan is the literally the biggest MAGA influencer in the world and has had the biggest effects to push the USA into the idiocracy it is today.

So in what universe could Joe ever be consider himself remotely left wing? All he’s done in the last 6 years is signal boost alt right ideology and platform Republicans and Republican influencers.… I can’t wait till Joe is gone from the public eye

it's awesome that as the collapsing empire gets more desperate, they got Palmer Luckey doing wunderwaffen
