It’s too early to evaluate this prediction.

• The prediction horizon is “roughly five years from now” relative to the podcast date of June 21, 2025, i.e., around mid‑2030.
• Today is November 30, 2025, only a few months after the prediction, so we don’t yet know Microsoft’s global employee count in 2030.
• Current public data only shows Microsoft’s workforce up to recent fiscal years (roughly in the 220,000–250,000 range, depending on year and layoffs), but nothing about the 2030 level yet.

Because the specified five‑year period has not elapsed, the prediction cannot yet be judged; hence the status is inconclusive (too early).
