AI Wars: Trump, Musk, and the Future

AI Wars: Trump, Musk, and the Future

You and the poet Walt Whitman have at least one thing in common:

You’re both witnesses to one of history’s biggest turning points.

In Whitman’s time, America was hurtling toward civil war, industrialization was reshaping daily life, and old ways of thinking were being dismantled.

But, in a world coming apart at the seams, Whitman didn’t try to smooth out the contradictions—he embraced them.

His most famous line sums it up: “Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)”

Contradictions drive great change. The best investors, like the best poets, embrace them.

Fear and pessimism creates opportunity. Greed and optimism fuels collapse. Innovation builds and destroys in equal measure. A stock can be wildly overvalued—yet still do another clean 5X.

This “law of contradiction” is never truer than with AI.

AI is overhyped and undervalued. A bubble and the greatest wealth creation event of our lifetime. For some, it's already too late. For others, it's still early. Today's biggest winners might be tomorrow’s biggest losers.

One thing we do know: 2025 is when AI hits the “insanity” button. And next Tuesday, we want to make sure you’re as prepared as possible for what’s to come.

Here’s one big reason why.

The Trump-Musk Doctrine

The Biden administration was focused on “AI safety.” AI safety sounded reassuring—until it became clear that “safety” meant cutting innovation off at the legs and micromanaging its rise.

The Trump administration? Not so much.

JD Vance, Trump’s VP, recently went to the big AI summit in Paris and made it clear where they stand: “AI safety is nonsense. AI is about opportunity.”

That’s the new doctrine.

Trump, Musk, Marc Andreessen, David Sacks—they all believe in accelerationism.

The idea: AI is going to move fast, so trying to slow it down is pointless. Better to unleash it and deal with the consequences later.

And maybe they have a point.

If AI is inevitable, does it make sense to try to keep it bottled up? Or is it better to make sure the U.S. dominates it first?

What Happens Next?

The next two to three years are going to define the century. AI is going to move faster than any technology in human history.

And it’s going to be full of contradictions.

Governments are rushing to regulate AI—but they don’t understand it. Companies are racing to deploy it—but they don’t control it. AI will make decisions faster than humans—but humans will be blamed for the results.

The government is scrambling to keep up. And whoever gets there first—whether it’s the U.S., China, or even a rogue AI lab—will have a level of power we’ve never seen before.

But what does that even mean?

It means the way you work is about to change. It means the economy is about to get weird. It means friends will become rivals and rivals will become friends.

It means the world in 2030 is going to look nothing like the world today.

If you’re not paying attention, you’re already behind.

AI is coming for your job, but it might also be your best chance at survival. It will be the greatest equalizer—and the greatest divider. It will make some rich beyond belief—and wipe others out overnight.

You can fear it, embrace it, or ignore it. But like Whitman understood, you don’t have to pick a side.

You just have to learn how to live in contradiction.

Tech Turning Point 2025

On Tuesday, March 11th, at 2:00 PM ET, we’re hosting a free, live-streamed event that could be the most important conversation about money, tech, and investing this year.

No credit card. No gimmicks. Just raw, unfiltered insight.

We’re at a breaking point. Markets are shifting. AI is accelerating. The biggest companies in the world are making trillion-dollar bets on the future.

So which is it? The peak? Or the beginning of the biggest wealth transfer of our lifetimes? (Or both?)

Here’s what to expect:

  • Trump & Elon’s First 100 Days – What’s REALLY happening inside Musk’s AI empire? Nvidia, Project Colossus, and a $10 trillion opportunity.
  • AI, Crypto & The Future of Money – The difference between hype and reality. Where’s the next 100x?
  • Quantum Computing: Breakthrough or Bust? – Will quantum rewrite the rules of investing? Or is it a big fat nothingburger?
  • The AI Bubble Debate – Are we in dangerous territory, or approaching escape velocity?
  • Biotech, Longevity & RFK Jr. – The trillion-dollar play billionaires don’t want you to know about.

And that’s just the start.

We aim to reveal the biggest market shifts no one is talking about—and the stocks to buy NOW before the world catches on.

This isn’t a normal investing webinar. It’s a front-row seat to the future. With insight you won’t find anywhere else.

You don’t have to cheer for him. You don’t have to like him. But you should probably pay attention.

We don’t fear AI because it will take away meaningful work… it’s the opposite.
