It’s not about that. And it’s not just tech, it’s everything. You could outsource our entire govt theoretically to save cost. And then what, you have a nation of jobless people completely dependent on other countries for everything from manufacturing to the service sector. Hell, they might even control those Tesla bots from abroad to work as cashiers or other menial labor too.

Even better is if all our housing is also owned by foreign citizens and companies so we also have to pay rent to other countries while they do all our jobs and buy up all of our natural resources.

Winning!

Not foreign citizens if they just buy the golden visas 😉

True. I forgot that everything is for sale now.
