💬 🇺🇸🇨🇳 ELON MUSK: “Over the next few years, America will probably lead the AI race. After that, everything will depend on who controls AI chip production. If more factories end up under China's control, then China will win.

I believe that, for national security reasons, we need to start manufacturing our own chips in the United States.”
