Elon Musk predicts AI could lift U.S. GDP growth to 4% in 2027

AI is being credited with taking U.S. GDP growth from roughly 2% to 4% in 2027. That is an extra two percentage points of growth arriving within a single year, driven by productivity gains across AI, computing power, robotics, and automation.

Elon Musk made the forecast on September 18, while economist Ernie Tedeschi said a temporary boost of that size is possible. Tedeschi questioned whether the full increase would arrive the following year or continue indefinitely. Musk's estimate puts next year's growth at about 4%.
