Илон Маск предсказывает рост ВВП США на двузначные цифры благодаря искусственному интеллекту Translation: Elon Musk predicts a double-digit growth of the US GDP due to artificial intelligence.

The wealthiest person in the world, Elon Musk, has forecasted a double-digit growth in the United States’ GDP «within 12 to 18 months.» He mentioned that the implementation of AI could potentially elevate these figures to triple digits.

«If we view applied intelligence as a proxy for economic growth, which it should be, then a three-digit increase could be possible in about five years,» the entrepreneur stated.

Bitcoin entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano drew attention to Musk’s post, noting, «The richest man in the world predicts double-digit GDP growth in the next 18 months. He claims an increase of over 100% is feasible if artificial intelligence realizes its potential.»

Representatives from the infrastructure provider for Real World Assets (RWA), Oryon Finance, pointed out that «the predictions of someone who sees everything are usually not mere background noise.»

However, not all commentators agreed with Musk’s perspective. Tech journalist and editor Artem Rusakovsky remarked that «the billionaire’s predictions are not his strong suit.»

In November, Musk hinted at the release of a flying Tesla car by the end of 2025, stating that the company plans to launch a new Roadster equipped with «insane technology» that allegedly could «fly.»

Previously, the entrepreneur had repeatedly promised fully autonomous Tesla driving (Full Self-Driving), but true «level 5» autonomy is still a long way off.

Crypto users are paying attention to macroeconomic signals that might catalyze the growth of digital assets. One of the key events being monitored by the community was the recent reduction of interest rates by the Federal Reserve.

Despite Musk’s optimistic GDP forecast, some experts do not share the positivity regarding Bitcoin’s growth.

«Yes. But of course, we are facing a bearish market in 2026,» commented market analyst under the pseudonym Bariksis.

In December, renowned trader and technical analyst Peter Brandt emphasized that «digital gold» is a unique asset that has experienced «five parabolic increases on a logarithmic scale,» followed by declines of at least 80%.

He added that the current cycle in the leading cryptocurrency is not over, suggesting a potential price drop to around $25,000.

Brandt expects the peak of the next bull market no earlier than September 2029.
