Have we not learned anything?
The "you will own nothing" advocates will continue to keep pushing for stuff like this.

Who are these "advocates"?
>You will own nothing and you will be happy.
Alternatively it could have a darker interpretation: you will be a slave and you will be happy, because that's all you're going to get.
I suppose it depends if you look at the WEF as a benevolent institution looking to benefit humanity or very rich people looking to solidify their own position at any cost.

It seems like it is, but read it closely. Reuters here is not debunking the phrase was said by a WEF politician, they are debunking that is is a goal of Agenda 30.
Nobody made that claim in the first place.
The article I linked provides context and paints a different picture; not sure why you consider that to be unrelated.
Given that happiness is often a cultural construct (wildly different things make people happy dependent on the cultural context), and that many WEF members are cultural influencers the critics response is that the current people will not really be happy, but the WEF will arrange the culture so that future people are. Any outside group conspiring to change your culture is a normal cause for alarm.
Literally every time I have seen the quote brought up in dissenters' milieus, it included the "and you will be happy" part.
Unsurprisingly, because the implicit paternalism makes it almost as repellent as the first part.
