Indeed for  modern  medical and warfare  needs automation  is required.  Beside those two categories of goods/services nothing else in human service is required . Consumer decadence and overpopulation are not NEEDS ... they are foolish extravagances. A human culture can allow their 99.5% removal and loose nothing of human value. Some technology horizon between steampunk and Ted Williams is both robust and pleasant.

Rather, we should NOT compete !  In America automation ought to be lost to guild-level jobs. Automation is a cultural virus of 18-th Century optimism. That optimism of  usefully reducing human drugery proved faulty. Instead of  a better quality products culture we  discover exponentially growing numbers of ego-minded service tasks ... like a slave culture .  Put the craftsman back at his bench and the woman back on her loom or wheel. I advise killing the parasite  -- automation.  Exceptions of-course for medicine & warfare. But, as a meme let  automation  trickle out of culture like sand trickles out of a cracked hour-glass. Its time has come and gone. l

Jobs lost , but no value.  If American interpersonal communications  might be viewed as a human female, then SNAPCHAT is a tarnished brass toe-ring gifted by an ex-boy-friend. It used to rest on her pinkee ... for sentimental reasons. Now it just snaps  when she steps on it.

"Better to let the market sort out how many data centers we need and where they should be. There's absolutely no need for government to get involved,"

I grew up with coal mines  & "crackers" in my back yard and coal-trains rumbling past at 2-AM.  Across town subsurface mine-fires burned for decades spewing  massive SO2 & CO  into the air. Pretty flames at night ... City buildings fell into mines where the "pillars" were robbed.  Mine cave-ins tried swallowing the Susquehanna River ... you know, home of the Susquehanna salmon !  "The market" sorted that out by  deciding environmental rape and human sickness were less important than corporate profit. I'm as conservative as the next paleo ---  be careful what  does not draw your governments' attention.

Because despite all failings,  Abrahamic ethics ( as refined by Christ teachings ) are the gold standard for upholding human value.  The crucial teaching '... thou shall not have strange gods before me ...'  is the basis for individual liberty. Any questions ... go ask Dawkins.

For north America, 150-million people is a/the sustainable long-term population.  Citizen reproduction rates were already pointing at this  prudent  value.  We need import no-repeat-no immigrant bodies to support our post-enlightenment / neo-industrial culture, any more than we need to import finished-retail products. America should preserve and protect its own ( as of say 1930 ) ... while providing humane help to foreign peoples/nations on their own territory. The  modern nation with the most under-developed country-side has the best std-of-living; see Scandinavian countries for details.

The organisation, before r Musk took over, became a cesspit of far-left extremism, in which anything the  far-left "disagreed" with (such as facts and other [re]publican values) were censored.

Except ... it's always night and still air. Bitch Gaia will fuck you in the azzwhole anyway and anytime she can. Do expect the worst  natural environment when your need is greatest. That's why cautious humans choosing robust energy sources predicated on the worst of the worst happening ... choose coal/oil/gas boilers . That's of-course also why bad faith green-beaners worshipping scarcity, dead infants and spoiled beef want their flakey solar  every cloud day ( 1/3 ) and puff-puff wind ~ 2 mph  ....
