Palmer Luckey, founder of defense startup Anduril, criticized California's proposed billionaires' tax, which targets individuals with over $1 billion in wealth and could threaten his company. He emphasized his choice to fly coach as a leadership example and expressed concerns about potential asset seizures and wage garnishments if the tax is enacted retroactively from January 1, 2026.
