Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and Oculus Rift developers are donating to Hillary Clinton in direct response to news that Oculus founder Palmer Luckey is backing a political action group pushing “shitposts” on behalf of Donald Trump. Some developers are even pulling support for the Oculus Rift and refusing to continue game development on the platform until Luckey is removed from Facebook, where Luckey’s LinkedIn states he’s worked since he sold Oculus VR to the social media juggernaut for $2 billion in 2014.

A Daily Beast investigation revealed that Luckey, who sold Oculus VR to Facebook for $2 billion in 2014, used the pseudonym “NimbleRichMan” to act as the vice president of Nimble America, which is dedicated to making pro-Trump “meme magic.” A spokesperson for the organization said it had raised $11,000 before a Saturday fundraising round on Reddit.

Oculus founder Palmer Luckey posted a statement on his Facebook page late Friday night admitting to donating $10,000 to pro-Trump “shitposting” organization Nimble America, after a Daily Beast article revealed his involvement in the group on Thursday.

In his statement, Luckey denied using the Reddit pseudonym “NimbleRichMan” to post anonymously about the group. But emails to The Daily Beast’s Gideon Resnick from earlier this week reveal Palmer admitting he “made the post” under the name and he “posted the body himself.” Those emails are provided in the Tweet below.
