The Big Beautiful Bill will pass the House and be signed into law by President Trump by July 4, 2025.
“so it's got to pass the House again before Trump can sign it into law. Lots of drama. Trump set the deadline for July 4th, which is Friday. When you're listening to this and it will in all likelihood get there… So it looks like it's pretty much a lock.”

Explanation
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed both chambers of Congress and was signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025, exactly as predicted.
If U.S. AI regulation remains fragmented at the state level over the next several years, it will materially impede nationwide deployment of AI services by large providers (e.g., Google, OpenAI), harming U.S. consumers and slowing AI‑related job growth.
“If we end up creating a patchwork of regulations on AI this early… having a patchwork of regulations on, for example, model development or telling software companies what software they can deploy would make it practically impossible for internet service providers like a Google or an OpenAI to service customers across state boundaries… This is a huge detriment to consumers and a huge detriment to the job market.”

Explanation
A patchwork of state-level AI regulations did emerge through 2025-2026 given the absence of comprehensive federal preemption, creating some compliance complexity for large AI providers, though it has not clearly been shown to be a 'huge detriment' at the scale predicted.
A U.S. regime of predominantly state-level, non‑preempted AI regulation over the next several years will slow down AI startups and smaller companies while advantaging a small number of large incumbent AI firms.
“If you have 50 different sets of regulation… What happens? I think what it does is it slows down startups and smaller companies who won't have the economic heft to fight these regulations… And it'll advantage a handful of incumbents.”

Explanation
State-level AI rules have generally been navigable by both large incumbents and well-funded startups so far, without clear evidence of a decisive competitive advantage accruing to a handful of incumbents specifically because of regulatory fragmentation.
New U.S. nuclear power plants whose development is initiated around 2025 will not begin operating before approximately 2032–2033.
“The reality is that, you know, these are ten year projects. And so even if you say go from today, the earliest these things can be turned on really in 2032, 20, 33, that's far too late.”

Explanation
New nuclear plants initiated around 2025 remain under construction or in planning as of mid-2026, so whether they come online before 2032-2033 cannot yet be confirmed either way.
Investments made in essentially any form of electricity production in the United States during the mid‑2020s will, over the subsequent 20 years (through roughly 2045), generate positive returns, as the marginal cost of energy trends toward zero.
“I think the marginal cost of energy has to go to zero, which means that any single way you can get your hands on electricity production is a winning trade over the next 20 years in the United States.”

Explanation
This is a 20-year investment thesis that cannot be meaningfully evaluated this early in the window.
Despite the current dispute, Elon Musk and Donald Trump (and their respective political and tech camps) will ultimately de‑escalate and re‑align, recognizing their mutual dependence in advancing their agendas during the coming political cycle.
“I don't think MAGA can exist successfully without the tech alignment. I don't think tech can exist without MAGA… I do think that both sides have heads that are going to be cooler, that will prevail here. And I do think that these two are going to recognize the importance of being co-dependent, if you will, in being able to progress their respective agendas.”

Explanation
Musk and Trump publicly reconciled by September 2025 after their June 2025 feud, appearing together at Charlie Kirk's memorial service and continuing engagement afterward.
The political and public alignment between Donald Trump and Elon Musk will persist over time; their current conflict will resolve with them finding common ground rather than leading to a lasting rupture.
“When push comes to shove, I think that they agree on more things than they probably disagree. And I think when everybody realizes that the alternative is Essentially some insane form of socialism and redistribution. I think the alliance will hold and that they'll find some common ground.”

Explanation
The Trump-Musk alliance, after a public rupture in June 2025, found common ground again by September 2025, consistent with the prediction.
Over the coming decades, the U.S. dollar will continue to slowly devalue rather than collapse, while U.S. dollar‑denominated assets (equities, real estate, and other hard assets) will, on average, appreciate faster than the dollar’s devaluation, making long‑term investment in U.S. assets a positive trade for most of the current generation’s lifetimes.
“I suspect that this decay continues to happen… unless you see a complete collapse in the currency… So I don't know unless there's some cataclysmic collapse in asset prices. I think that this is just a thing that you have to deal with… there will be a constant bid for American assets. And that will keep the enterprise of America going for far longer than most people would guess.”

Explanation
The dollar continued its gradual, non-catastrophic decline through 2025-2026 without a cataclysmic collapse, and US equities remained strong performers overall, broadly consistent with the thesis though too soon to fully confirm the multi-decade claim.
Within roughly 18 months of this July 4, 2025 episode (i.e., by early 2027), Harvard will face a severe budget shortfall that forces it to actively sell portions of its private equity portfolio, and those secondary sales will clear only at steep discounts of approximately 20–40% to reported net asset value.
“Harvard's cooked, and I think this is really good for America... They can stall for probably another year and a half, but at some point they will not have the budget to sustain themselves, and they're going to get into a huge world of hurt. What they will have to do in order to finance their budget in probably 18 months is start to actively sell their private equity portfolio... There is no smart money on the street that's going to look at any private equity portfolio from Harvard without asking for a 20, 25, 30, 35, 40% discount, because your back will be totally against the wall.”

Explanation
The roughly 18-month window (to around early 2027) for Harvard's predicted forced private-equity fire sale has not yet fully elapsed as of mid-2026, though Harvard did pursue secondary sales of PE fund stakes at meaningful discounts in 2025 amid federal funding disputes.
At the September 2025 FOMC meeting, the Federal Reserve will not increase the federal funds rate; the outcome will be either a cut or no change relative to the prior target range.
“According to Polymarket, 52% chance of a rate cut in September. 46% chance of no change. So we're definitely not getting an increase, according to the sharp money.”

Explanation
The Fed did not raise rates at the September 2025 FOMC meeting; it cut rates by 25 basis points instead, consistent with the prediction that an increase was off the table.
OpenAI will generate approximately $13 billion in revenue in calendar year 2025 and approximately $125 billion in revenue in calendar year 2029, and Anthropic will generate approximately $35 billion in revenue in calendar year 2027.
“OpenAI. Their revenue numbers just leaked. They're forecasting 13,000,000,000 in 25 2025, spiking to 125,000,000,000 in 2029. You have anthropic. Their revenue by 2027 is forecasted to be about 35 billion. So what does all of this tell you? To be honest, it's telling me that the state of software is a little unclear. Meaning I actually believe the OpenAI and anthropic numbers.”

Explanation
OpenAI's and Anthropic's actual revenue trajectories broadly tracked toward these leaked figures directionally (both saw explosive growth into the tens of billions), though final confirmed numbers for the specific years cited differ somewhat from the leaked projections.
Over the next several years following Figma’s IPO (on the order of 1–3 years), a market-neutral trade that is long Figma and short an equivalent dollar amount of Adobe will be profitable, as Adobe’s valuation will compress more than Figma’s, allowing an investor to make money on the spread.
“If I could get like 50 or $100 million of Figma, I would probably be long it and I would short an equivalent quantum of Adobe, and I would just book the spread. And I think you make a ton of money that way. That's a safer trade because, you know, even if the AI model thing comes around the corner, we don't see it, the person who's going to take a retrade on valuation faster than Figma will be Adobe. And so you'll be hedged and you'll probably make money that way.”

Explanation
Figma's stock was highly volatile after its 2025 IPO and Adobe faced its own AI-competition pressure, but a clean, sustained long-Figma/short-Adobe pair-trade profit was not clearly documented as of mid-2026.
