Elon Musk’s Role in America’s Push Toward AI 2.0?
In a newly released presentation, James Altucher details how Musk’s latest AI breakthrough could accelerate U.S. innovation and redefine the future of technology.
Baltimore, MD, Aug. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- President Trump’s swift reversal of Biden’s AI restrictions has already paved the way for historic advances. James Altucher explains: “As soon as he revoked Biden’s AI order… Trump also announced the LARGEST AI investment in history” — a half-trillion-dollar plan known as Stargate to establish America as “the AI capital of the world.”
Forecasts suggest artificial intelligence could add $20 trillion annually to the global economy by 2030, with some experts estimating as much as $14 quadrillion in the decades ahead.
Musk at the Center of the Race
Much of the world’s attention has focused on AI applications like ChatGPT. But Altucher stresses that Musk is quietly building something much larger in scope, designed to propel the U.S. ahead in the global AI race.
- Scale: Musk has assembled hundreds of thousands of advanced Nvidia processors.
- Speed: His systems already rival or surpass the resources of leading tech firms, including Microsoft and Google).
- Ambition: Musk says this technology is intended to reveal “the deepest secrets of the universe” and reach capabilities “we can’t even fathom.”
- Expansion: The project is on track to multiply in power within months, signaling the beginning of an unprecedented technological shift.
From Tools to Intelligent Machines
Altucher highlights that what most people call “artificial intelligence” today is only the first stage. “AI 1.0 gives us all the world’s knowledge at our fingertips. AI 2.0… gives that knowledge to intelligent machines that I believe will solve our problems for us.”
He adds that this transformation could change history: “This second wave of ARTIFICIAL SUPERINTELLIGENCE… will rival all of the great innovations of the past. Electricity… the wheel… even the discovery of fire.”
