Rumors regarding the World Economic Forum have sparked claiming that the executive chairman and founder Klaus Schwab has been arrested hospitalized, and could be dead. X is the main source of these rumors being spread, and none of them are true. These claims are fostered by articles meant as satire but ultimately are just disinformation.

This statement is False. Many rumors have been circulating social media cite X regarding the healthy and safety of Klaus Schwab. All claims of Schwab being arrested, hospitalized or dead were false.
