Adam Dorr asks if US should ban humanoid robot exports to all foreign countries

- Adam Dorr (RethinkX) poses a pointed question to Elon Musk, Brett Adcock, and Palmer Luckey: if humanoid robots could send economic productivity into the stratosphere, should US manufacturers be forbidden — even temporarily — from selling them to any foreign country?
- He argues an economy growing vastly faster than every competitor or ally without depending on trade would be a strategic advantage of near-unprecedented scale.
- He draws an analogy to polio vaccines: would exporting them abroad have been acceptable before every American who wanted one was protected?
