It is clear. First of all you brought up Elon. That guy is an anomaly. If it wasn't for him both industries he's responsible for pushing forward would have been viciously surpassed ages ago. Additionally byd will be surpassing Tesla soon. It's projected to in less than a year. As for phones, the entire stack is owned by Asia. Software is the only thing we have left and most of it is open source. Pretty clear cut from your examples. But also clear cut from common sense. I suggest you find other examples to help detract from the obvious generality. Look into Tiny niches like precision and highly advanced bespoke manufacturing where the US still holds a shakey lead. These areas may help you construct an argument that looks effective but obviously isn't.
