🚨ELON: US ENGINEERING TALENT SHORTAGE WORSE THAN PREDICT
Elon challenges current projections, saying the US needs twice as many skilled engineers immediately to address innovation bottlenecks.
While reports suggest that 160,000 engineers will be needed by 2032 in the semiconductor industry alone, Elon emphasizes that the urgency is now, not 8 years from now.
The US is lagging behind in producing highly skilled and highly motivated engineers, a limitation Elon likens to a sports team that can't recruit championship players.
Without an immediate focus on expanding STEM pipelines, reforming high-skill immigration, and retraining the workforce, the US risks losing its edge in AI, semiconductors, and beyond.
The call to action is clear: America must invest in talent today to secure its future tomorrow.
