If you take GP at face value he didn't intentionally pull the wool over people's eyes. He was just rather naive.

- jacquesm 6y agoGP has since started a defense contractor. I highly doubt this is a naive person.
- staunch 6y agoThat's a non sequitur and your viewpoint is vindictive, uncharitable, and unreasonable. Palmer Luckey was in his very early 20s and had never been involved in an acquisition before. He acknowledged his mistake and his explanation makes complete sense. Even much more experienced people are prone to making this kind of mistake in the honeymoon period of an acquisition.
- EricE 6y agoNo kidding. I'm shocked that all these perfect and wildly successful people even have time to post on hacker news :p
- akhosravian 6y agoCan you explain the leap from someone starting a defense contractor to them not being naive a few years earlier in their life about corporate acquisitions?
- nitrogen 6y agoWithout commenting on this situation, if you're worried about selling something to a large entity who might later change their mind about how they use your thing, you don't usually start selling to militaries.
- Mandatum 6y agoSorry, who's GP?
- ameen 6y agoGrandparent - In this context, that’s Palmer Luckey.
