Palmer Luckey is funding Donald Trump's internet trolls with his Oculus money
Oculus founder Palmer Luckey is financially supporting a pro-Donald Trump group of "shitposters," he confirmed to The Daily Beast today, using his considerable personal fortune to fund the creation of memes attacking Hillary Clinton. Luckey, who is believed to have received some $700 million from Facebook's $2 billion Oculus purchase, said he had donated "significant funds" to Nimble America — a group that calls itself a "social welfare 501(c)4 non-profit dedicated to shitposting in real life." In its announcement post on Trump-fan subreddit r/The_Donald, Nimble America said it had already "proven that shitposting is powerful and meme magic is real," and that it wanted to bring so-called "shitposting" into the real world "in a way that was transparent and had purpose." In practice, the unofficial Trump-supporting group suggested this could be done via T-shirts, Nimble America's spokesperson saying that it would "not just sell t-shirts to sell them, but to sell t-shirts to shitpost." The group's home page was last updated on July 11th. [ The Verge ]
