People are always going to try to influence the United States of America, whether they're allies of ours or whether they're enemies of ours.

But when I open up the pages of TIME Magazine, and I see that there's a literal foreign influence campaign being funded to tank the very deal that I was pursuing, and, oh, by the way, many of the people who were receiving that money were actually attacking me in completely dishonest ways.

My response to that is: go to hell.

The fundamental challenge of AI is it's going to unleash a lot of wealth creation, but if that wealth creation all goes to some segment of people, you're going to have communism.

That is the choice before us. It's a lot of wealth being created—that's good, by the way. I like wealth being created.

But if you don't ensure that there's some broader prosperity from that wealth creation, we've run this experiment before, and it leads to communism.
