People criticize USA, a lot for racism and discrimination but the reality is that there are not other country in the planet where immigrant can be integrated so fast to the workforce and don't find themselves trapped under a glass ceiling, it probably happens but with less frequency than other countries, other countries are competing with their limited pool of talent that people in power let succeed against the world itself.

Talent can come from everywhere, and USA will continue to dominate the innovation scene for years to come

I'd argue that most of Europe is much better at this than the US. Not only is there freedom of movement within the EU allowing people to work anywhere, but also many states are more progressive than the US and have slightly less of a race divide.

The US gets something right with innovation, but I don't think this is it.

Freedom of movement exists within the US, many US states are more progressive than the EU, there are slightly more people of another “race” in the US, but most importantly: there are far more people (# and %) of non US/EU background in the US, and the only countries with more % are other “Anglo” countries like Australia and Canada.
I doubt that some guys from any country outside europe, can become the ceo of some of the more prominent companies. Probably can happen in UK, but doubt that it will happen in any other country of europe, or Elon Musk in Japan, nah I don't see that happening.
