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.

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.
