In a newly released presentation, Altucher reveals how Musk’s latest AI breakthrough could accelerate U.S. leadership in technology and reshape the future.
Washington, D.C., Aug. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- President Trump wasted no time in signaling America’s AI priorities. “As soon as he revoked Biden’s AI order… Trump also announced the LARGEST AI investment in history” — a $500 billion program known as Stargate, designed to make America “the AI capital of the world.”
Experts already project that artificial intelligence could contribute $20 trillion annually to the global economy by 2030, with some forecasts as high as $14 quadrillion over two decades.
Musk’s Expanding AI Initiative
While political debate continues in Washington, Elon Musk has advanced a project of unprecedented scale. His new systems are already outpacing global competitors.
The Shift to AI 2.0
James Altucher emphasizes that the current tools most people know — such as ChatGPT — are only the starting line. “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”.
According to Altucher, this next stage represents a turning point in human 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.”
