Rohan Paul projects US GDP near $45 trillion by 2030 from superintelligence
Overview
Rohan Paul, a commentator on X, says US GDP is in the low $30 trillion range and projects growth above 50% by 2030, reaching about $45 trillion, driven by superintelligence.
His post writes the year as "20230," which appears to be a typo for 2030. Elon Musk replies that the forecast is extremely likely if GDP is measured as useful output, unless a major war occurs.
