Elon Musk has dismissed the “fixed pie” fallacy in economics, advocating for infinite possibilities in job creation while supporting Sriram Krishnan’s call for skilled immigration reform. Musk, in a post on X, declared, “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’s comments fire argument
Musk’s note came as a comment to investor Joe Lonsdale, who had highlighted Sriram Krishnan’s new position in President-elect Donald Trump‘s administration. Krishnan, a software professional and policy recommend, has made headlines for his stance on experienced emigration.
Krishnan advocated last month for green cards to be removed, especially those that restrict experienced emigration based on birthplace. Any action to end the country’s green card cap would be huge, according to Krishnan in response to a Musk post about the Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ), a new initiative that Musk co-chairs with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.
Krishnan more elaborated,” 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 )”.
David Sacks backs merit-based immigration
David Sacks, tapped by Trump to direct White House work on AI and bitcoin, lent his assistance to Krishnan’s plan. Baskets clarified Krishnan’s position in a blog on X earlier this year, emphasizing a merit-based approach to immigration.
” Sriram also supports skills-based requirements for receiving a green card, never making the program endless. In reality, he wants to make the system fully merit-based”, Sacks wrote. Musk endorsed the idea, replying,” Makes feel”.
Trump’s vision for AI policy
The discussion has grown more interesting since Trump appointed Krishnan as top policy director for artificial intelligence. Trump stated that his intention to work with David Sacks and Sriram will be to ensure continued American administration in AI and to organize and structure AI policy across the state, including working with the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
This collaboration highlights Trump’s commitment to advancing qualified immigration policies while addressing skilled AI innovation, which Musk appears to support.
A vision for the future
Musk’s importance on “infinite possible” for job creation dovetails with his broader perspective for economic expansion driven by technology. His notes reflect a growing trend in tech lines that favors immigration reform to boost competitiveness.
As the U. S. gears up for a revolutionary AI time, the consolidation of policy frontrunners like Krishnan, Sacks, and Musk signals a transition toward rational solutions. With Musk’s support of skills-based immigration, the digital world may be watching carefully as the fresh administration shapes the future of British innovation.
