I always ask who the "we" is in statements like this? Is it self critique or just a way of saying we are all at fault you better don't focus on me.




From reading the article and having listened/read a lot from Jensen and his ilk, I feel pretty comfortable saying the "we" is referring to the system we have built in the US. Basically the era of free trade. He and Trump and that group generally think we made a mistake by allowing free trade, and the solution is to "force" that away with a mix of taxes (tariffs), laws, incentives (subsidies/grants/etc) and others.

This is a summary FTA, not a direct quote from Jensen, but it's a pretty good one IMHO:

> In a recent speech, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang outlined his plan for bringing manufacturing jobs back to America: force companies to build AI infrastructure in America.


I highly doubt he really thinks that, but it pays to say so in public.

For sure, it's quite possible he doesn't really believe this stuff but is evangelizing it because of the benefits of being in good with this administration. It's sad but important to keep in mind as a possibility
