"It was JUST ten thousand dollars, guys!!" for some reason doesn't really have that apologetic tone I think he was expecting to give off.

Nah dude, his word is bullshit. You work for a dude that spreads hate and now condone it. You may wish this is the case, but it isn't true.
Who the hell is this jackoffLook who is giving Palmer advice:
So he's basically saying "Palmer never told me to my face that he's a [insert chosen phrase here] so 'its all good people, nothing to see here'."
Can't say I'm surprised, after all Rubin is getting paid- let's not let a small thing like racism/facisim & bigotry get in the way of your paper.
3 tweets and he says nothing at all.
a total psycho who's main claim to fame is telling everyone he thinks women that get date raped are morons and its their fault

This might as well say, "I am choosing to ignore Palmer's bigoted girlfriend, his association with a serial harasser like Milo and people like Mike Cernovich."
Google his name, trust me you are in for quite a ride.
Here's a alt right favorite. Here's a few of his hot takes.

Lol the people coming to his defense is just going to dig his grave deeper.
Look who is giving Palmer advice:
Oh my godddd is this world serious
He's just toe-ing the FB line, he is laying the groundwork for Facebook to state that they don't condone or support his views. He knows who REALLY signs his checks.

Mike Cernovich got famous by being one of the most prominent Gaters (along with Milo). He had a private investigator stalk Zoe Quinn while she was homeless because he's a psychopath.
Mike Cernovich has gotten on Fox News and is an extremely popular Trump supporter from starting the conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton suffers from Parkinson's disease.
Luckey's statement has been summed up well on Twitter:

Man, why would he even admit to doing such a thing? Blow his own cover? Did he not know who the daily beast is?
Look who is giving Palmer advice:
At this point I can't be shocked. I'm just really curious just how worse this can get for Luckey.
At the end of the day, Luckey may lose some connections and lose some respect (rightfully so), but he'll be fine. He's a quasi-billionaire and in no way dependent on his career. He'll live and die with many times the wealth of all GAF combined. Likewise, Facebook is used by half the population of Earth and has no notable competitors, so they're not exactly in danger, either. And the sad truth is, while his words and deeds are reprehensible, they clearly resonate with at least enough people to support the current GOP ticket. Which is really the most terrifying takeaway of all.
The best thing that could come of this whole episode, is not so much what happens to Luckey himself, but what happens to society at large. If there's a large enough outcry about what Luckey has been doing — if the greater whole of the Internet is swift to condemn his support of hatred and cruelty — then perhaps it'll send a signal to the rest of society that no, this is not acceptable behavior, and no, the tenets of the alt-right are not reasonable or respectable in any sane civilized society.

Since we're entering the weekend I'm worried we won't get any media follow-ups on this. You'd think someone like Luckey would know that receipts exist for this stuff.
Even if you entirely take him at his word he's still openly admitting to donating to a non-profit whose mission statement is to mess with the world via the freshest dank memes and shitposting, which coincidentally is extremely anti-Clinton. That's still pretty fucking awful. Also, when Mike Cervonish is coming to defend you, you are a worthless sack of human flesh. He and Milo are both automatic flags that you're horrible.
C'mon media, don't let this slide.

I said I was going to sell my rift and give the proceeds to the HR Clinton campaign if Oculus didn't get rid of Palmer.
Hopefully I get at least a few bids.

Why would Palmer even try this story when he damn well knew what he emailed earlier this week?
