“I think the problem is that they have published this number specifically to harm American companies,” said Luckey. “You have had a lot of useful idiots in the American media by simply pointing out that this is the case, and neither China nor the media or Deepseek have no incitement to correct the file because many American companies like Nvidia are crushed on the air of hundreds of billions of dollars.
