Crazy that there's a weapons company called Anduril as well

Why? Naming a weapons company after Aragorn's sword makes sense. "The Daily Beast" on the other hand is a rather cynical name...

Creative people seem to be rather pacifistic. Warmongers seem less so, they have to "borrow" from the creative ones.

I'd call my company Sauron's Eye (we'll figure out what the company does later), but sadly that's trademarked to the LOTR franchise.

Anduril is quite a positive name, it is a broken sword reforged later to save humankind. Quite a metaphor about western reindustrialization.

Crazy? It's backed by Thiel as well IIRC.
