Elon Musk predicts AI could double US GDP growth to 4% next year, a figure significantly above mainstream estimates. However, this optimism contrasts with warnings from Dolat Capital, which highlights rising bond yields and monetization challenges as key risks to the sustainability of the current AI investment cycle.

  • While Musk’s optimistic projection highlights potential upside, ANI News reports that Dolat Capital warns the AI capex cycle is facing its first major macro test. The brokerage notes that rising US Treasury yields and a hawkish Fed stance are raising funding hurdles, creating significant uncertainty over whether AI revenues can justify the massive capital outlays from hyperscalers.
