You don’t know that the entire story is a lie. Some could be true. I’m not saying it’s true or false but it follows with the other business dealings that have been reported.

I’m not here to advocate for the accuracy of the story. There are parts of the story that might not be as accurate as they thought.
What is true and factual is that 1789 is still involved financially with Anduril. That is a problem. Whether it’s for raising of capital or direct investment- it’s a problem.
Again, not saying that this story is 100% true. Parts of it certainly are true though. There are other companies which you and others choose to ignore. Why is that?

No explanation will matter to you Trumpartisans anyway. Y’all are being lied too but the difference is that you enjoy being lied to as long as it’s by your alpha- DJT who relies on your loyalty.

BTW, this is what the OP "Link" looks like after abc.news pulled the article ...

FWIW, I don't know that I've ever seen a more brutal ratio'ing than the one @Amy_Siskind is receiving in the previous X thread I embedded.

This is such an interesting case.

The article reeked of innuendo couched in imprecise mishmash language. My antennas went up, just as they did in response to a couple of financial hitpieces on Paul Pelosi in the past.

But according to nitwits in the thread, even so much as questioning precision of the OP headline rates me as ""Trumpartisan"".

SMH.

Meanwhile, SlidellCajun is doubling down.


If you want some entertainment in ratio'ing though, go to the @Amy_Siskind X thread backing the abc piece and look at the responses to her.

Yes it was retracted but that doesn’t mean the entire article is false!

Whether 1789 owns a part of Anduril or merely served as a capital partners engaged to raise funds, is not much different when it comes to integrity. It’s swampy.

There’s no doubt that 1789 is involved with Anduril. There’s no doubt that Anduril have substantial government contracts. There’s no doubt that DJTjr is involved with 1789. This is something that should be alarming to people but just like most partisans, they parse their outrage based on who’s in office. Integrity is gone and the bar gets lowered on what is acceptable. People just turn their head because its being done by their team.

Biden lovers overlook the Hunter issues. Trumpartisans overlook this and other issues. Both are wrong to those that see clearly through a non partisan lense.

And this is why we sit here getting raped by our elected officials. We don’t demand stronger levels of integrity.

So I asked you earlier in the thread, to specify with facts, what specific allegations in the article were true. You referenced nothing but the headline, which could not have been more imprecise, as I had already pointed out.

Now you are tripling down. Feel free to quote any paragraph in that now retracted article which convey financial facts that are provably true. Frankly, I don't expect your response to be any more detailed than your earlier non-responses were. But since you're continuing to dig your hole, and you insist that elements of that article were factual and not misleading, here's your chance. Post them.

As the article pointed out-
Anduril’s involvement with 1789 is real. DJTJr’s involvement with 1789 is real.
Anduril’s contractual involvement with the US government is real.

You just don’t want to believe it or for whatever reason you don’t think it matters.

I do.

@ABC
is refusing to correct this lie. @ByNathanLee's "analysis" is totally bogus, and he knows it, because Anduril provided him with the actual numbers - 1789 Capital has only invested a total of $50M in Anduril, and this so-called "major stake" is about 1/1000th of the company.

The claim of $6B+ in "active or promised government contracts" is also a lie. Most of that amount is in hypothetical contract ceilings, which are (by design) larger than the government or the contractor expect to transact.

The problem for Nathan and ABC, which they also know, is that a bunch of people, including the Governor, assumed they were telling the truth and acted on it. Admitting they got this wrong would make a legal judgement against them trivially easy. And so they lie.

What a stunning set of mistakes by ABC News.

They confused the total size of an investment round in Anduril with a small level of secondary participation in that round by the venture capital fund in which Donald Trump Jr. is a partner (1789 Capital).

Further, they created a false quid pro quo narrative that somehow that investment by 1789 Capital has directly resulted in DoW contracts for Anduril.

Anduril has been around since 2017 and is a global leader in defense autonomous systems. It has been receiving significant defense contracts under both the Biden and Trump Administrations for quite some time now.

As a Silicon Valley VC attorney myself, I assure you that the only way to make such mistakes is deliberate sloppiness through a prism of TDS hate. The facts here could have been easily checked both through public securities law filings and by just asking Anduril!

A rational reporter with rational editors would never have made such grievous errors.

Were they intentional errors? Perhaps.

They may well be "involved."
But how are they "involved"?
What is their participation and financial benefit?

E.g., I'm also "involved" in APPL, SPCX, GS, etc.

I am not "involved" in the 1789 fund, as you say DonJr and/or Eric are.

Then again, as it's down nearly 3% on the year, I'm glad I'm not.

DJTjr is a partner with 1789 which has either investment or helped financing for Anduril (or both) which happens to have government military contracts…. The concern is that through this connection, Anduril gets favored treatment. Imagine being another shipyard or military contractor that has isn’t affiliated either DJTjr or other Trumps. It wouldn’t feel so great. You’d be skeptical.

If this were the case for any other president, it’d be outrageous to you and others but since it’s Trump, it gets downplayed as irrelevant.

For me, it’s not. And neither is the involvement with Unusual Machines, PowerUS and other dealings.
