Facing swift backlash from the virtual-reality development community after he bragged about funding a pro-Donald Trump political-action group, Palmer Luckey, the 24-year-old V.R. wunderkind behind Oculus, took to Facebook over the weekend to apologize. “I am deeply sorry that my actions are negatively impacting the perception of Oculus and its partners,” wrote Luckey, who who sold his V.R. company to Facebook in 2014 for $2 billion and whose personal net worth is about $700 million. ”The recent news stories about me do not accurately represent my views.”

Luckey, who outed himself last week as a donor for the anti-Hillary Clinton group Nimble America, admitted that he gave $10,000 to the PAC, which is “focused on promoting the ideals of America First, Smart Trade, Legal Immigration, and Ethical Behavior,” according to the group’s Facebook page. “I thought the organization had fresh ideas on how to communicate with young voters through the use of several billboards,” he wrote. But he’s not voting for Trump—instead, Luckey says, he’ll be casting his ballot for third-party Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson.

Nimble America, as the Daily Beast first reported, is an organization that makes anti-Clinton memes. The organization debuted on the unofficial Trump-fan subreddit r/The_Donald, where its founders said it had already “proven that shitposting is powerful and meme magic is real.” According to the Daily Beast, Luckey posted on the subreddit as “NimbleRichMan,” a user who helped co-found the Nimble America. In his Facebook post, Luckey pushed back on the story, writing “I did not write the ‘NimbleRichMan’ posts, nor did I delete the account. Reports that I am a founder or employee of Nimble America are false.” However, a series of e-mails with Luckey, posted by Daily Beast reporter Gideon Resnick, seem to contradict Luckey’s statement. In their conversations, Luckey doesn’t say that he created the user account, but that he did use it to post to Reddit.

Luckey, one of only two known Silicon Valley leaders to have publicly voiced support for Trump, has been embroiled in controversy since revealing his involvement with Nimble America. After the Daily Beast’s initial report about Luckey was published, some smaller virtual-reality developers began to drop their support of Oculus in protest of Luckey’s politics. “In a political climate as fragile and horrifying as this one, we cannot tacitly endorse these actions by supporting Luckey or his platform,” indie developers Polytron wrote. “If you are a voting citizen of the United States, please remember to register and make your voice heard this Nov. 8. Do not let bigotry, white supremacy, hate, and fear win.” Brendan Iribe, the C.E.O. of Oculus, also did damage control on the situation. “I know that Palmer is deeply sorry for the impact this situation is having on the company, our partners and the industry,” he wrote in his own Facebook post. “Everyone at Oculus is free to support the issues or causes that matter to them, whether or not we agree with those views. It is important to remember that Palmer acted independently in a personal capacity, and was in no way representing the company.”
