Yep, it's a propertarian conspiracy theory:

This is why fact checks are bullshit. Reuters admits that

a WEF social media video from 2016 that stated eight predictions about the world in 2030, including: “You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy. What you want you’ll rent, and it’ll be delivered by drone.”

Now to make the statement false they bring in a strawman "Stated goal" condition and prove that particular part to be false, then claim that makes the whole thing false.

Such bullshit.

Fact checkers are all just self-important opinion columnists.

Academic research is the standard that should be aimed for. References and no opinions.
