""We want to re-industrialize the United States. We need to be back in manufacturing," Huang said recently on theJoe Rogan Experience podcast. "Every successful person doesn't need to have a PhD. Every successful person doesn't have to have gone to Stanford or MIT." Huang believes more Americans need to take on manufacturing gigs-not just to pivot to where the work will be in the age of AI, but also because the entire industry could be at risk."
"As the cofounder and leader of the world's most valuable company, Huang has a peek under the hood of America's changing workforce dynamic. The CEO of the $4.53 trillion chip giant has a direct line to U.S. President Donald Trump and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, who are determined to bring U.S. manufacturing back to its glory days."
""If not for [Trump's] pro-growth energy policy, we would not be able to build factories for AI, not be able to build chip factories, we surely won't be able to build supercomputer factories. None of that stuff would be possible without all of that. Construction jobs would be challenged, electrician jobs-all of these jobs that are now flourishing, would be challenged.""
Re-industrialization and a return to manufacturing are essential for national prosperity and for building AI infrastructure. Broad-based manufacturing employment does not require PhDs or elite university degrees, and increased participation in manufacturing can meet labor demands in the AI era. Energy growth, domestic investment, and pro-growth energy policy are prerequisites for industrial expansion, chip and supercomputer factory construction, and job creation. Policies that emphasize American self-reliance and limit immigration pair with efforts to boost intergenerational participation in manufacturing to address talent shortages and revive domestic industry.
