Palmer Luckey Talks Tech

We brought them out to California on our dime, so we're housing them, we're paying them, and we brought them so that we could put them into our existing factory, teach them how Andrel works,

We indoctrinate them into our way of manufacturing, our way of thinking, and we've actually already finished that training process, and we've already sent them back to Ohio where they're helping stand up the factory.

We're going into production this summer, and we have a new batch of people that have already been sent back.

So on Arsenal One, we are ahead of schedule.

We are hitting our commitments.

I think we're building a new plant to build new things, and we're doing it on our own dime.

We're spending $900 million of our own money to build this plant.

It's turned out to be a more technically challenging problem than we thought.

Bloomberg Talks
Palmer Luckey Talks Tech

Now, in that case, it's not a failure of, you know, like we're not building a factory or we don't want to invest.

Bloomberg Talks
Palmer Luckey Talks Tech

It's just it's a harder technical problem than we thought.

Bloomberg Talks
Palmer Luckey Talks Tech

I suspect that we're going to continue to run to those.

If you if you only build things with no technical risk, you're not trying hard enough.
