'It Won't Be China That Takes Control — It'll Be Musk': Enrique Abeyta Says Trump's AI Order Hands Elon the Reins of America's Machine Future
WASHINGTON, June 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Most headlines worry about foreign AI dominance. But former hedge fund manager Enrique Abeyta sees a different threat rising from within. Abeyta explains in his recent briefing that with Elon Musk's AI supercomputer Dojo accelerating toward national rollout — and President Trump's executive order removing the last legal barriers — Abeyta warns: 'It won't be China that runs the machine economy. It'll be Musk.' 'Trump just ensured Dojo stays American. But in the process, he handed Musk the keys.' Domestic Superpower: What Musk Built Dojo isn't just a chip or a data project. It's a complete, real-time AI system that's: Trained on 160 billion frames of daily real-world video Built on a proprietary chip 6x faster than Nvidia's top processor Designed to control machines in motion — not simulations Tesla's next step? The June 1st launch of a fully autonomous robotaxi — no pedals, no steering wheel, no driver. Trump's Order Removes the Last Obstacle President Trump's 'Removing Barriers to American AI Innovation' executive order gives domestic AI leaders unprecedented freedom to develop and deploy systems like Dojo without traditional oversight. One key partner in Musk's AI ecosystem is already 'expecting to receive billions of dollars from the Trump administration.' The stated goal: outpace China. The result? Musk now operates the fastest, most government-aligned AI infrastructure in the country.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett Says Democrats Will Subpoena Musk If They Retake House
A House Democratic lawmaker said that if Democrats retake control of the House of Representatives, they will likely issue a subpoena to former Trump administration special government employee and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Musk, who departed the administration last week in accordance with the expiration of his special government employee status, appeared alongside President Donald Trump in a news conference in the Oval Office on May 30. The tech billionaire played a key role in the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), whose mission is to root out fraud and cut wasteful government spending. So far, it reports it has helped save taxpayers tens of billions of dollars, but aims to raise that to more than $1 trillion.
