Beff Jezos backs Palmer Luckey: US must vertically integrate its AI supply chain
beffjezos · x · 2026-10-04
Extropic founder Beff Jezos (beffjezos) quote-posted Palmer Luckey to argue that the 'architects of the hollowing out of the US' want America to externalize its supply of critical technology like AI and stay externally dependent, because a fully vertically integrated US AI supply chain 'would make it unassailable.' Luckey's original post mocked the same people who 'sold us out' on globalization for now pretending the US doesn't need to compete with the rest of the world on AI.
