This is Palmer Luckey.

He founded Oculus before it was acquired by Facebook for $2B in 2014.

However, he was ousted from the company for his political affiliations.

But this week, Meta announced a partnership with his new company.

And what they're building will shock you: Let's set the scene here.

In 2017, Palmer Luckey was forced out of Facebook.

His crime? A $10,000 donation to an anti-Hillary Clinton group.

The VR genius who built their entire virtual reality division was sent packing overnight.

But this wasn't the end of his story...

Sergey Brin just went deep on the All-In podcast.

Google's co-founder revealed:
• How a competitor inspired him to come out of retirement
• How he secretly uses AI to manage his teams
• How AI models will eventually converge

Here are his 5 most jaw-dropping revelations:🧵 First, some background.

Sergey Brin retired just a month before COVID hit.

His plan?

Hang out in cafes and read physics books.

Then everything changed at a party:

PayPal was Silicon Valley's first tech mafia.

But there's another company whose alumni have quietly raised $6B+ across numerous startups.

Today, this powerful network dominates industries like AI, defense, and healthcare.

This is the untold story of the Palantir Mafia: In 2003, Peter Thiel took his PayPal fortune and co-founded Palantir with Alex Karp.

The secretive company specialized in solving difficult problems for government agencies, from hunting terrorists to detecting financial fraud.

But something else was brewing inside...

Imagine paying more than DOUBLE for your next iPhone.

You might have to if the 145% tariff on China returns.

Apple's response? Move ALL US iPhone production to India by end of 2026.

But the headlines are hiding a devastating truth.

Here's what Apple doesn't want you to know: Today, only 20% of iPhones worldwide are assembled in India (about 45-50M units).

This is a significant increase from just a few years ago, when virtually none were made there.

But it's still just a fraction of Apple's total production...

Brazil had the most predatory banking system on Earth.

5 banks controlled 80% of the market, charging astronomical fees.

But in 2013, a purple card and smartphone app changed banking forever.

Here's how one man's frustrating bank visit sparked a $70B revolution: In 2012, David Vélez had a frustrating experience at a bank in São Paulo.

He had to go through bulletproof doors, deal with armed guards, and wait 45 minutes to get the necessary paperwork.

All this and a 5-month-long process just to open a simple bank account...

Google and Meta are fighting for survival in federal court.

They built trillion-dollar empires by crushing their competition.

Now those same tactics could bring them crashing down.

Here's why Meta and Google might never be the same after 2025: Google just lost its second antitrust case in 8 months.

The court ruled it has an illegal monopoly in parts of the ad industry.

Meanwhile, Meta executives are testifying in their own FTC trial.

The stakes couldn't be higher...

Google DeepMind's CEO just stunned 60 Minutes viewers.

The Nobel prize winner revealed:

• An AI that can see and understand in real-time
• A plan to end ALL diseases in 10 years
• Exactly when AI will surpass human intelligence

Here are his 4 most jaw-dropping insights:🧵 Demis Hassabis isn't your typical tech CEO.

He was a chess prodigy by the age of 12.

He has a PhD in neuroscience.

And he won a Nobel Prize for revolutionizing protein structure prediction.

As DeepMind's co-founder, he's been charting the future of AI for a decade.

Jon Stewart just went viral for reasons no one could believe.

On his weekly podcast, he finally realized "Elon was right" about govt corruption.

But that was just the beginning.

Here's the moment that left him (literally) speechless: 🧵 Over the weekend, Stewart invited NYT writer Ezra Klein onto his podcast.

Their conversation took an unexpected turn when examining Biden's broadband program.

What happened next shocked Stewart's longtime viewers.

This is Roy Lee.

He is an undergrad student who just got EXPELLED from Columbia.

Not for cheating on exams.

But for EXPOSING Big Tech's hiring secrets.

Here's how a 21-year-old made $170K/month "trolling" Silicon Valley:
Meet Chungin "Roy" Lee.

600 miserable hours practicing LeetCode (tech's most brutal coding interview prep platform) almost made him quit programming forever.

But instead of giving up, he had an idea that would expose Silicon Valley's biggest weakness...

In 2012, Sam Altman's first startup was a "$43M failure."

Everyone said he'd never recover from the humiliation.

But that loss taught him ONE life-changing lesson that turned him into a visionary.

Here's the mindset shift that changed the world: Picture this:

19-year-old Sam drops out of Stanford to pursue his entrepreneurial vision.

Raises $30M for his location-sharing app, Loopt.

By 2012? Growth stagnant. 5M users inactive. A $170M valuation turns into a $43.4M sale.

The most dangerous man in tech isn't Elon or Sam Altman.

It's a rule-breaking CEO who built a $2 TRILLION empire in silence.

But yesterday, he unveiled an AI chip 40x faster than any other created.

Here's why every tech company is now at his mercy: 🧵 1993, NVIDIA's Jensen Huang started with a vision for transforming computing.

Making graphics cards for video games. But that was just the beginning.

Everyone thought he was crazy. Graphics cards were a niche market.

But he saw something others missed...

Meta's global policy director just exposed everything in her tell-all book:

From Zuck's private scandals to secret Chinese deals, nothing's off limits.

Now, Facebook's trying to shut her down.

Here are the 3 most shocking details from her Amazon bestseller: 🧵 Meta launched a preemptive PR campaign before the book's release.

They won an emergency arbitration ruling from the International Centre for Dispute Resolution.

The ruling demands she stop promoting the book and retract all disparaging comments.

But their attempts backfired:

Tesla owners are being brutally ATTACKED across America.

And while Elon swears he's "done nothing wrong," insiders reveal a disturbing truth.

Here's the real reason behind this "domestic terrorism"

(and what Musk plans to do about it): Acts of violence are spreading nationwide:

• Molotov cocktails at dealerships
• 12+ shots fired at Portland dealership
• 4 Cybertrucks torched in Seattle
• "RESIST" graffiti in Las Vegas

Attorney General Bondi's response? This isn't random vandalism...

Mark Cuban just shocked the world in his 'People' interview.

He admitted his $5.7 BILLION fortune wasn't just hard work.

It required a "specific type of luck" rarely discussed.

Here's his truth about becoming a billionaire (that anyone can learn): ☘️ Cuban's words hit different because he was once sleeping on a floor.

In 1982, he moved to Dallas with $60 in his pocket and a 1977 Fiat.

Had to share a 3-bedroom apartment with six other people.

But then something changed that would alter his life forever...

In 1988, Oracle was threatening Microsoft's $12 BILLION empire.

So Bill Gates tried stealing their # 1 database to bankrupt them.

Oracle's response? A revenge plan Gates never saw coming (including spies)...

Here's the untold story of tech's craziest rivalry:
In the late 80's:

Microsoft was riding high on Windows' success, dominating the PC market.

But there was one piece missing from Gates' empire: Databases.

And Oracle owned that market with over 50% share.

But Gates had a plan that would change everything...

This CEO pulled off the craziest comeback in history:

In 2020, IBM lost $3.5 BILLION in a single year.

So their new CEO told everyone "Live every day ready to be fired."

Everyone thought he'd gone crazy.

Here's how his shocking policy created a $230 BILLION empire: IBM used to be unstoppable.

The company that brought us the PC, the ATM, and the barcode scanner.

A tech giant that shaped the modern world.

But in 2020, something went terribly wrong...

In 2011, this CEO sold a video startup to Skype for $100 Million.

Then vanished to cycle around the world. Everyone thought he retired.

Instead, he returned 2 years later to build a $5.7 BILLION tech empire.

Here's how "getting away" brought him a fortune: It started with a revolutionary idea:

A mobile video app that could stream anything, anywhere.

This was 2009 - when smartphones were just taking off.

Within a year, this simple app exploded from 750k to 6M users.

Elon just declared WAR on the world's biggest companies.

In 2022, 18 brands organized a $2.5 BILLION boycott to destroy X (Twitter).

And yesterday? Elon fired back with the most ruthless lawsuit in history.

Here are the shocking details shaking the corporate world: For starters, these aren't just any companies.

We're talking about global giants like Nestlé, Lego, Shell, and CVS.

Together, they control nearly $900 billion in annual ad spend.

And they had one target in their crosshairs... Elon's X (Twitter):

In 2022, Facebook spent $24 Million to DESTROY TikTok's reputation.

After Meta hired a "smear campaign" company showing TikTok killing teens...

TikTok had no choice but to fire back.

Their response? An attack Zuckerberg still isn't over: 🧵
It all started with TikTok's meteoric rise.

During the pandemic, TikTok exploded from 653 Million users to 1.04 Billion.

Meta watched as millions of young users abandoned Facebook and Instagram.

But Zuckerberg had a plan that would shock Silicon Valley...

In 2015, Google accidentally put their website up for sale.

When this former employee realized it, he bought it for just $12.

Google had no choice but to give him whatever he wanted.

His response? Not $100,000. Not $100 Million.

Here's what he asked for instead: At 1:20 AM on September 29th, 2015, one of the most visited domains in the world became available.

Google .com - the digital front door to one of tech's biggest companies.

A domain that receives billions of visits each month.

But something was very wrong...

This man is the most stubborn CEO in history:

In 2004, eBay offered to buy his "ugly ads website" for $1 BILLION.

He refused.

Today? That site makes $1 Billion per YEAR with just 50 employees.

Here's why he said "No" to a guaranteed fortune: In 1995, a programmer in San Francisco started a simple email list.

He wanted to share local events with friends.

No fancy tech. No grand ambitions. Just a way to help his community stay connected.

But something unexpected was about to happen...
