Why does right-wing nuts tech bro always goes to Lord of the Ring’s name ?
It’s not right wing nuts tech bros. It’s just one: Thiel. All the companies with the LOTR name have him as a common denominator.
Also this news is weird I thought Palmer Luckey really hated Zuckerberg. Luckey was fired from Facebook because he supported Trump before basically any other Techbro except Thiel.
That doesn’t even really sound like hyperbole anymore.
At least Luckey went with the name of the good guy’s sword rather than the bad guy’s surveillance device, like Peter Thiel.
Both are funded by Thiel, it’s all Thiel down the way.
I hate that both trademarks exist, but I’d say using a name form a Tolkien work to develop weapons is especially wrong.
