## Quote — verbatim

> I think we're just going to do a lot more but less people were employed. I think overall output will be significantly higher... in like 5 years there's going to be at least a two-digit growth in GDP because of AI. I really believe that... the wealthy is going to get wealthier.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Transcript reads "a single twodigit growth"; he pairs the GDP call with significantly lower employment and a wider wealth gap.
