Saying UBI would grow the economy is not the same thing as saying that UBI growth would pay for UBI. My understanding is that Yang doesn't include it in the 3tn - most comes from replacing existing welfare programs and VAT.

He definitely did say that UBI is going to pay for UBI. He factored projected economic growth into the budget.
