Ok, I'm not from US so maybe I'm missing something here. Why exactly does his speech feel fake?

The part where there will be jobs in the future. Not that I think Eric Schmidt or anyone else is responsible. The genie is out of the bottle and you can't put it back in, no individuals or companies or states can.

There sure is hope for C-level to juice more and more. People who are about to join work market may not share the positivity.

its fake because they have tried their hardest to hoard all the money to themselves
