Anduril Co-Founder Trae Stephens on the Recent Media Backlash Against Anduril: “The WSJ or Reuters, they just looked kind of silly talking about crashes during test flights.” “That’s what happens when you move fast. If you’re not crashing when you’re testing, you’re not testing very hard.” “This is a...

Palmer Luckey’s advice for founder-led communications “My advice to people would probably be to recognize that the value of your reputation is very high,” Anduril founder Palmer Luckey begins. “If people do not trust you; if they do not believe in what you’re saying; if they do not think that you’re a person worth listening to, they’re going to have a hard time working with you.” Palmer also argues that founders don’t need to be neutral: “You don’t need to be neutral. You can be a propagandist. You can advocate for a particular point of view . . . In general, people should recognize that if you say something where you caveat it and hedge it and basically end up saying something that most people would agree with, you might as well have said nothing at all.” He continues: “You are not going to build a following of people who say, ‘I just love Palmer’s right-down-the-middle, very-hedged takes that everyone agrees with.’ If you’re just restating common sentiment, it’s not going to get you anywhere . . . So one of the things I tell people is, ‘Make sure that when you’re saying something, you’re SAYING something. Make sure you’re trying to persuade and affect change.’ — maybe not in everybody, but in some people. If you make some people love what you’re saying and some people hate what you’re saying, that’s a lot better than having everybody lukewarm agree with you. Don’t waste your time communicating about the things everyone already agrees with you on. Focus on the things where you need to change their mind.” Source: Lulu Cheng Meservey (Sep 2025)

Anduril Founder Palmer Luckey on China’s Critical Threat Against the U.S. Military: “They’re building weapons that are sometimes better than ours, for a tenth of the price, and 100x the scale.” “The real power of the Chinese military is their ability to manufacture… unfortunately, right now they are very much on the right side of the equation.” “Anti-ship missiles are a huge concern… it’s very hard to defend against them. Even if you can defend against one, can you defend against 10? Can you defend against 100?” “When our aircraft carriers cost billions of dollars, you can justify throwing a lot of missiles at it and it still makes sense, from China’s perspective.” “I don’t think China’s gonna go for a Pearl Harbor. But what they probably could do is deny the U.S. Navy the ability to operate in any area that they make a priority… if [China] makes enough hypersonic anti-ship missiles.” “What happens is, not the destruction of the U.S. Navy, but the neutering of the U.S. Navy. We realize we can’t actually use [our ships], so they sit somewhere else, watching Taiwan get invaded.” “The United States has a lot of missiles that are excellent… but we don’t make enough of them.” “This is the Anduril mission problem… how do we do these things cheaper, better, and faster?” “This is why [Anduril] is investing in building missiles and missile systems. We need something like 100x more capacity than we currently have.” Rebuild The Arsenal. 🇺🇸

a16z co-founder Ben Horowitz: “Don’t follow your passion” Ben gives this advice to the Columbia University class of 2015: “Don’t follow your passion. Now I know you’re probably thinking: ‘That’s a really dumb idea because if you poll 1,000 people who are successful, they’ll all say they love what they do. And so the broad conclusion of the world is that if you do what you love, then you’ll be successful.’ But we’re engineers, so we know that might be true. It also might be the case that if you’re successful, you love what you do — you just love being successful, everybody loves you, it’s awesome. So which one is it?” He continues: “The first tricky thing about passions is they’re hard to prioritize. Are you more passionate about math or engineering? Are you more passionate about history or literature? Are you more passionate about video games or K-pop? These are tough decisions. How do you even know? On the other hand, what are you good at? Are you better at math or writing? That’s a much easier thing to figure out. The second thing that’s tricky if you’re going forward in time with this ‘follow your passion’ idea is that what you’re passionate about at 21 is not necessarily what you’re going to be passionate about at 40. Now this is true for boyfriends, as well as career choices. The third issue with following your passion is that you’re not necessarily good at your passion. Has anybody ever watched American Idol? So you know what I’m talking about. Just because you love singing doesn’t mean you should be a professional singer. And then finally, and most importantly, following your passion is a very ‘me-centered’ view of the world. And when you go through life, what you’ll find is that what you take out of the world — money, cars, stuff, accolades — is much less important than what you put into the world. And so my recommendation would be to follow your contribution. Find the thing that you’re great at, put that into the world, contribute to others, help the world be better. That is the thing to follow.” Video source: a16z (2015)
