Palmer Luckey stays in California to fight the wealth tax head-on
Palmer Luckey isn't running. The Anduril founder and native Californian says he's staying put to fight the state's proposed wealth tax head-on, even as it pushes others out. "It's causing a lot of people to run who I don't want to be running," he said. That stance fits a pattern of defiant innovation, much like the military-grade canines he's backing with Ben Lamm. Staying to shape the fight feels more productive than fleeing it.
Sergey Brin's $100 million bet against California's billionaire tax
Sergey Brin has now poured $100 million into defeating California's Prop 40, a one-time 5% tax on the state's billionaires. That is a staggering sum, and it signals how seriously the Google co-founder views this fight. But the proposal isn't about punishing success; it's about asking the wealthiest to contribute more during extreme inequality. If you're tracking how tech leaders wield political influence, this is a defining moment.
