Luckey's financial backing of Nimble America, a pro-Donald Trump political organization that created and distributed internet memes, sparks significant controversy. The revelation leads to calls for boycotts of Oculus products and damages his reputation within the gaming and technology communities.

Oculus VR faces a lawsuit from ZeniMax Media, alleging that Luckey and Oculus stole trade secrets related to VR technology. The lawsuit results in a jury verdict against Oculus, highlighting the complex legal landscape surrounding intellectual property in the VR industry.

Following his departure from Oculus and the founding of Anduril, Luckey's public image undergoes a gradual shift. He is increasingly seen as a controversial figure, admired by some for his entrepreneurial spirit and criticized by others for his political views and involvement in the defense industry.
