ELON MUSK SAID “FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS AMERICA IS LIKELY TO WIN THE RACE IN AI. THEN IT WILL BE A FUNCTION OF WHO CONTROLS THE AI CHIP FABRICATION. IF MORE OF THE FACTORIES ARE OWNED BY CHINA, THEN CHINA WILL WIN. RIGHT NOW, ALL THE CHIP FABS ARE IN TAIWAN. 100%. IF CHINA INVADES TAIWAN IN THE NEAR TERM, THE WORLD WILL BE CUT OFF FROM ADVANCED AI CHIPS. I THINK IT'S ESSENTIAL FOR NATIONAL SECURITY THAT WE BEGIN MANUFACTURING OUR OWN CHIPS IN THE US."(The Bitcoin Historian)
