Fact Check:

A recent WEF report says the global space economy “could be worth close to $2 trillion by 2035,” according to Via Satellite. The report also predicts space industry growth “will largely be built upon the increased reach of space-based and/or -enabled technologies, such as communications, positioning, navigation and timing, and Earth Observation (EO),” the outlet reported.

The X post, viewed over one million times as of writing, claims Schwab was recently hospitalized. “BREAKING: Klaus Schwab has been hospitalized,” the post’s caption reads. The post, which does not provide a source to support its claim, features a photo of Schwab. “You must all die. Who wants to go first?,” text overlay on the photo reads.
