One of the best interviews with Mr. Luckey.

Great interview. Why is this not getting more views? Palmer Luckey is great (despite me disagreeing with his political stance) and the interviewer is really well prepared and knows how to ask questions.

Palmer reminds me of Buddy Pine, a.k.a. Syndrome in The Incredibles... same tech genius with wild hair and toothy grin and chip-on-the-shoulder ego to be BIG!
