Elon Musk shoots down 'wrong-headed economic thinking,' says there's 'infinite potential' for job creation

Billionaire business tycoon Elon Musk shot down a scarcity mindset and suggested that there is basically unlimited potential for creating jobs and businesses."The ‘fixed pie’ fallacy is at the heart of much wrong-headed economic thinking. There is essentially infinite potential for job and company creation. Think of all the things that didn’t exist 20 or 30 years ago!" Musk declared in a post on X.Musk's comment was in response to a post from entrepreneur Joe Lonsdale who had mentioned Sriram Krishnan – who President-elect Trump recently tapped for a role in his upcoming administration. Last month, Krishnan advocated for lifting a cap on green cards when replying to a post of Musk's regarding the Department of Government Efficiency, a new body that Musk will lead alongside businessman Vivek Ramaswamy."Anything to remove country caps for green cards / unlock skilled immigration would be huge," Krishnan tweeted. In another post Krishnan added, "simple logic – we need the best, regardless of where they happen to be born (another bizarre quirk – the country cap is where you were born, not even citizenship)."TRUMP NAMES SEVERAL NEW WHITE HOUSE PICKS TO WORK ON AI, CRYPTO AND MORE: ‘AMERICA FIRST PATRIOTS’David Sacks, who Trump tapped for White House AI and cryptocurrency czar, discussed Krishnan's view in a post this week. ELON MUSK AND VIVEK RAMASWAMY POINT TO DOGE TARGETS"Sriram still supports skills-based criteria for receiving a green card, not making the program unlimited.
