The wording does appear verbatim, attributed to Nicolas Berggruen, in an indexed mirror of @NBerggruen’s X posts, and Berggruen also shared the linked FT piece on the same topic via LinkedIn. However, the specific X status ID `1985781756029780147` decodes to a creation time of November 4, 2025 (UTC), not 2026, so the quote is authentic but the year in the claim is wrong.

Checked the quote against the source_url (https://x.com/NBerggruen/status/1985781756029780147). WebFetch returned 403 (X blocks direct fetching), but a targeted web search returned the exact tweet from that URL containing the verbatim text: "Universal Basic Capital is a better fit for the digital economy of the future. It invites all those who labour for their living to earn value from investment in technology. My piece in @FT [link]". The quote is therefore accurate and verbatim. Author attribution is correct — it is Nicolas Berggruen's own X account, where he promotes his FT op-ed on Universal Basic Capital. Year 2026 is current and relevant. The vote "for" correctly aligns with the statement: Berggruen advocates Universal Basic Capital as a way for everyone who labours to share in the value created by technology/AI, which directly supports the claim that frontier AI's economic gains should be shared with every person. Quote is highly relevant and reflects the whole meaning of the statement.
