Going to put the economy in a very, very weird situation if true.

Will be like, the end of millions of careers overnight.

It will probably strongly favour places like China and Russia though, where the economy is already strongly reliant on central control.

I think you may be literally right in the opposite sense to what I think you intended.

China (and maybe Russia) may be able to use central control to have an advantage when it comes to avoiding disasterous outcomes.

But when it comes to the rate of innovation, the US may have an advantage for the usual reasons. Less government intervention (due to lobbyism) combined with having several corporations actively competing with each other to be first/best usually leads to faster innovation. However, the downside may be the it also introduces a lot more risk.
