    Calling it now. This is easily a Top 5 Bloomberg/Emily Chang interview of all time.

    The CEO of a defense contractor politely asking for a screwdriver from a Bloomberg production team is a comedy

    The sound recordist on this did a great job recording such clean audio in extremely noisy environments. As a recordist myself, I applaud you Brendon Johnson

    Emily: So, am I hired? Palmer: [looks at the floor] NO! 🤣

    Whenever I see Palmer Luckey, I also see Jonah Hill from War Dogs. They got the same look/vibe going on lol
  • Emily Chang, this series you’ve been doing is just amazing. The content, the story, the engagement from the individual being interviewed… It’s all just amazing. Very well done.

    I will note here that Hewlett and Packard, one of whom was a Marine, made a concious decision to NOT become dependent upon military contracts, for many reasons; they listened to Eisenhower's admonition.

    If the D&D table doesn't impress the ladies that boat sure will.

    6:17 we are truly living in a marvelous age when the billionaire CEO of a defense contractor startup is a weeb that has a figure of Jotaro Kujo and a bust of Rem from Re: Zero mounted beside his fireplace.

    “Is this street legal?” “We are on a street, aren’t we?” Such an interesting way to answer this. I love this. Obviously this is not street legal but how quick he replied is awesome. This is how they break stuff and move fast in this field. Ask forgiveness later.

    I’m excited and terrified of what Palmer Luckey will do over the course of his life.
