Between 2000 and 2010, this strategy led to a staggering decline in domestic manufacturing jobs, with nearly a third of the workforce displaced due to outsourcing and automation. While most companies accepted this as an inevitable consequence of free trade and technological progress, Elon Musk took a different…-
