A key former Facebook exec has reignited discussion of Oculus founder Palmer Luckey's 2016 firing.
Former Oculus CTO and ex-Meta VR exec John Carmack said on X that he regrets not defending Luckey.
The posts caused Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth and Luckey himself to weigh in on the discussion.

John Carmack, a key player in Meta's venture into virtual reality, is coming to the defense of Oculus founder Palmer Luckey — about eight years after the tech giant fired him amid scrutiny surrounding Luckey's political donations in 2016.
