Spencer Pratt will win his Los Angeles election.
“And Spencer Pratt, if he wins this election, which I think he's going to in Los Angeles, the reason is what Brad said. Those ads are incredible.” View on YouTube
No credible record of a Spencer Pratt Los Angeles election win was found; the claim is too vague/unserious to score cleanly.
California's Retirement Protection and Savings Act ballot initiative, which would effectively block a wealth tax, will pass by a wide margin.
“Spencer Pratt the, you know, the ballot initiative, the retirement protection and savings act, right? It's going to pass. Going to pass with big numbers. This is the, you know, referendum that effectively is going to knock out the wealth tax.” View on YouTube
No clear tracking data found on the specific California Retirement Protection and Savings Act ballot initiative outcome as described.
Most of the roughly 9 gigawatts of new AI data-center capacity slated to come online this year will end up blocked or shut down due to political/community protests, worsening AI compute supply constraints.
“You have about nine gigawatts that are supposed to come online this year. Almost 50% of it now is being protested. More than likely, if history holds, most of that will get turned off. So, they will get even more supply constraint.” View on YouTube
Local opposition and protests against data center projects grew significantly in 2025-2026 (moratoriums in several towns, ballot measures), but AI data center capacity buildout continued at record pace overall, so the prediction is only partially borne out.
Elon's new 'Elon Web Services' (EWS) hyperscaler business will generate an incremental $4-5 billion of revenue this year on top of existing mid-$20 billions analyst estimates.
“So I estimate that this is going to generate in this year an incremental 4 to 5 billion of revenue on top of what I've seen analysts estimates in the mid20s.” View on YouTube
No dedicated 'Elon Web Services' product or revenue line has materialized as a distinct, separately reported business; the prediction was too speculative to verify.
Anthropic will hit roughly $100 billion of ARR by the end of this year (10x growth), and the key open question becomes whether it reaches $1 trillion of ARR by 2027.
“I think it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that they will hit that forecast of 10x this year exiting the year. Call it roughly 100 billion of ARR. And now the only question is whether they hit a trillion in 2027.” View on YouTube
Anthropic's revenue run rate reached roughly 65 billion dollars by mid-2026 with full-year 2026 revenue estimated in the 20-26 billion dollar range, well short of a 100 billion dollar annualized run rate by year-end.
SpaceX's IPO will trade at roughly 40-50x revenue, and with next year's projected $40-50 billion in revenue, the company will go public at around a $2 trillion valuation.
“This is why the SpaceX IPO is going to trade at 40 to 50 times revenue. Okay. So next year if they do 40 to 50 billion and this thing goes out at 2 trillion right that they're going to trade at a really high revenue multiple compared to the mag five.” View on YouTube
SpaceX has not conducted an IPO as of mid-2026; it remains private, so a 40-50x revenue trading multiple at a 2 trillion dollar valuation cannot have occurred.
Tesla and SpaceX will merge into a single combined 'Elon Corp' entity, likely by the end of this year or by the middle of next year.
“when Tesla and SpaceX merge and we have all things Elon and Elon Corp, okay, which will happen probably by the end of the year. Maybe it'll happen in the middle of next year.” View on YouTube
No merger between Tesla and SpaceX, nor any combined 'Elon Corp' entity, occurred or was formally proposed by the predicted timeframe; the companies remain fully separate.
If Anthropic sustains its current 10x-per-year growth rate for 18 more months, it will become by far the most valuable company in human history, with unprecedented control over AI technology.
“Enthropic though, we said, is growing at an exponential 10x a year. And if they just do that for 18 more months, they'll be by far the most valuable company in human history. And they'll have unprecedented control over the most important technology of our time.” View on YouTube
Anthropic's growth decelerated well short of sustained 10x-per-year pace, and it remains far from being the most valuable company in history, with Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft each carrying multi-trillion dollar valuations well above Anthropic's roughly 965 billion dollar valuation.
Some form of AI regulatory oversight will be enacted even under the current Republican administration, driven by a broader public backlash against tech oligarchs and AI.
“I think that there's a pretty profound vibe shift with respect to tech, tech oligarchs, Silicon Valley, and particularly the AI... I think that regulations are coming. I think they'll be worse under a Democratic regime, but I think that some form of oversight is going to exist under a Republican regime.” View on YouTube
Federal AI legislation remained limited under the Republican administration, though state-level rules and an AI executive order framework did constitute some oversight, making this a partial rather than clean confirmation.
Within 3-6 months, all major frontier AI labs, including Chinese labs, will have models with cyber-offense capabilities comparable to Anthropic's 'Mythos'/Claude models.
“Open AI now has a model that's just as cyber capable as mythos. And within 3 to six months, all the major frontier labs and including Chinese models will have cyber capabilities.” View on YouTube
Chinese frontier labs (DeepSeek, Alibaba, Moonshot) continued closing capability gaps with US labs through 2025-2026, but matching specific 'cyber capabilities' within a narrow 3-6 month window is too specific to confirm or deny cleanly.
Markets can stay net-long on AI infrastructure for roughly the next 500 days, after which there will be an important reckoning over whether AI spending has produced measurable ROI in corporate margins and productivity.
“So I think we have kind of call it 500 days where you just got to be net long. But I think it's literally in the hundreds of days from now 500 you're going to have to have an important reckoning moment. The people that are paying for all these tokens need to see an actual benefit.” View on YouTube
Concerns about AI infrastructure ROI and a potential capex bubble grew substantially through 2025-2026 with some high-profile warnings and volatility, but no single definitive 'reckoning' event pinned to a specific day count has been confirmed.
