@entrepreneursanctuary: Palmer Luckey explained to Bloomberg Originals why Lockheed Martin and Boeing are structurally incentivized to go slow. 🧠 And why Anduril is built to be the exact opposite. First — why the legacy companies move slow: Cost-plus contracting. The government pays for time, materials, and overhead — then adds a fixed profit percentage on top. The more the project costs: the more money they make. 🔥 The longer it takes: the more costs, the more profit. This is not corruption. It is math. An engineer who finds a way to deliver the same capability for 40% less — just reduced their employer's revenue. The incentive structure makes efficiency the wrong answer for the company's P&L. Anduril runs the opposite model: 💡 It's a defense products company. It builds things and sells them. Development cost is Anduril's cost to absorb — not the government's. When Anduril delivers faster: profit margins go up. When they find a more efficient solution: profit goes up. Speed is the right answer for the business and the customer at the same time. Palmer Luckey: Oculus Rift at 16. Sold to Facebook for $2.3B at 21. Fired at 25. Founded Anduril the same year. $28 billion valuation. The same dynamic played out between Tesla and GM. Not incompetence. Incentive misalignment. Tesla made speed the right answer for their business. Legacy auto didn't. Anduril is doing the same thing to defense. 💰 👉 @entrepreneursanctuary #PalmerLuckey #Anduril #DefenseTech #Entrepreneurship #Innovation
