Summary
Tesla and SpaceX chief Elon Musk said on X that artificial intelligence could roughly double US GDP growth next year, from about 2 per cent to 4 per cent, or possibly more. He also noted the outlook faces capital hurdles.
Bubble analysis
This is Musk's verbal forecast about AI's macroeconomic payoff, with no investment figures, valuations or revenue data behind it, so it neither proves nor disproves a bubble. It does touch the core mechanism of the debate: if AI really doubles GDP growth, today's huge capex is justified; if not, the risk that spending far outruns revenue grows.
