Why Elon Musk Will Win the Debate Over Visas

John Ellis: “The key to the future of global power is mastery of artificial intelligence. The nation that masters AI first will be the most powerful nation on earth. The nation that masters AI and quantum computing first will be the most powerful nation in the history of mankind. Each of those three sentences is true.”

“It’s noteworthy that, in the main, Trump voters don’t like H-1B visas and/or express unhappiness about Elon Musk’s influence on the president-elect and/or agree with Steve Bannon that the rise of Elon is a betrayal of the base. But as a policy matter, it’s a moot point. Whatever AI needs, it will get. Whatever quantum computing needs, it will get. The race with China on both technologies is the most important national security issue of this century. Nothing else comes close.”
