This kid created America's deadliest weapons from his garage. Built a billion-dollar company at 21. They called him the 'Steve Jobs of VR'. Today, Facebook, Apple, and US military defense can't live without him. Here's the crazy story: At 16, Palmer Luckey dreamed of creating perfect virtual reality. He built his first VR headset from cheap parts in his garage. After 6 tries, he made one that worked. Game developer John Carmack noticed it, and in 2012, Palmer launched Oculus Rift on Kickstarter, raising $2.4M. By 21, Facebook bought Oculus for $2B, making him a billionaire. In 2017, Palmer left Facebook and started Anduril Industries to improve military technology. His team built advanced tools like AI-powered surveillance towers and super-fast drones in just months. Palmer’s story shows how big dreams and smart ideas can change the world. If you like this then follow me Mr Z for more such amazing content!
