Anduril Industries Inc. founder Palmer Luckey said he didn’t oppose regulations on defense companies proposed by President Donald Trump, including limits on compensation.

“I pay myself $100,000 a year,” Luckey said in an interview on Bloomberg Television. That salary is far lower than the $5 million-a-year pay caps floated by Trump in a Truth Social post. Of course, the bulk of Luckey’s compensation comes from his ownership of a significant portion of Anduril, which was last valued by investors at $30.5 billion.
