America is not automatic. Our tech & economic advantage only exists because of America’s unique DNA that from our founding combined talent, capital, risk tolerance, universities & smart immigration. In the Age of AI this unique American combo is more valuable than ever! 🇺🇸🚀🎯

Agreed and the flywheel’s running live. Just this week across the 70+ pods I track: 20VC on Anthropic’s IPO filing + Cognition’s $1B raise at $26B (capital + risk tolerance), Jensen × Satya at MS Build on the US compute stack. The American combo, in real time. 🇺🇸 http://youtube.com/watch?v=jPBG1F2Y8Mw

@altcap Yes until big tech and others decided to undercut Americans - using Universities as backdoor immigration then paying foreigners (who are NOT smarter) less. You all don't understand how both the Left AND the Right HATE you guys for this.....

@altcap Brad Gerstner agree with you, hook, line and sinker!! We must always ensure America is great 👍

@altcap Love to see this. I am thankful for that DNA.

@altcap You mean like Sergey Brin (Russian), Elon Musk (S African), Peter Thiel (S African), Steve Jobs (Syrian) etc?

@altcap Hey Brad, this is nice and all, but can you please do your duty as an $UBER shareholder and get on CNBC and be our hype man!

@altcap Multiple factors complement each other and build hard-to-replicate competitive edges.

@altcap I hear you Brad.
If only you had the moral courage to speak truth to power.
Because you don’t, your voice is heavily muted!

@altcap It is insane to think that human being can not progressed without 2 million people in Wall Street and Silicon Valley taking all the money. That is the "ecosystem"

@Lour97722 @altcap Get back to plumbing lol
