US real GDP growth in 2027 above 3.3%, ">50% higher than 2026"
“My guess for real GDP growth next year is >50% higher than 2026, so >3.3%”
Context: Elon Musk on X (30 Sep 2026), quoting a David Sacks post noting US Q2 2026 GDP growth revised up to 2.2%. Musk did not name the country; the quoted post is about US data. "Next year" is 2027.
