Elon Musk: “Most entertaining outcome is most likely”



So what does that mean?

Is there a Musk-Trump reconciliation in the works?

Let’s hope so. We miss their alliance.

Erica listen up.
Elon may be launching a COUP.

Why?
The U.S. DOGE Service and allies in the Trump administration ignored White House experts worried about potential security breaches when they installed Elon Musk’s Starlink internet service in the complex this year, people familiar with the matter said.

Was Elon a Trojan horse?

Isaac Atimov claims in his Foundation series, psychohistory is a fictional science that predicts the future based on the statistical behavior of large groups of people. This predictive science, developed by Hari Seldon, combines mathematics, psychology, and history to understand the reactions of human populations to social and economic stimuli. It is used to foresee the fall of the Galactic Empire and to create a plan to shorten the subsequent dark age.
Elaboration:
Mathematical Future Casting:
Psychohistory, as presented in the Foundation series, is a type of future-casting that uses mathematical models to predict the actions of large groups of people.
Statistical Approach:
It relies on statistical laws of mass action, meaning that while individual human behavior is unpredictable, the average behavior of large populations can be predicted.
Predicting Social and Economic Events:
Psychohistory can be used to foresee events like wars, revolutions, and the emergence and fall of social structures.
Combining Disciplines:
It combines elements of psychology and history to understand human behavior and its influence on historical events.
Inspiration:
Asimov himself stated that he was inspired by Edward Gibbon's "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" to develop the concept of psychohistory.
Not Real:
While the concept of psychohistory is fictional, it explores the idea of using scientific methods to understand and predict human behavior on a large scale.

This week a report in The Wall Street Journal said Iran ordered large quantities of ammonium perchlorate—a key component for solid-fuel ballistic missiles—from China, despite the Islamic Republic’s ballistic missile program being under Western scrutiny amid ongoing sensitive nuclear negotiations with the US.

The material could be used to produce up to 800 missiles and was placed by Pishgaman Tejarat Rafi Novin Co. from Lion Commodities Holdings Ltd. in Hong Kong. The report indicated the parts are to arrive in the coming months.

The WSJ raises the likelihood that some or much of the material could be transferred to Iran-backed proxy groups in the Mideast region, foremost among them Yemen’s Houthi rebels, who have been launching repeat ballistic missile attacks directly on Israel, even threatening cities as far away as Tel Aviv.

The deal with the Chinese company was likely finalized before Trump’s offer to restart nuclear talks, which was kick-started in March.

China’s Foreign Ministry has rejected the allegations, or is at least saying China is not aware of the transfer.

“The Chinese side has always exercised strict control over dual-use items in accordance with China’s export control laws and regulations and its international obligations,” a spokesperson said.

According to background from the WSJ report:

Iran has been looking for ways to rebuild its so-called Axis of Resistance network of

As we navigate through unprecedented times, it's fascinating to ponder the future. From technological advancements to social movements and global politics, the world is constantly evolving.

In the context of the USA, several critical possibilities could shape its future:

1. **Destruction of the Middle Class**: Are we witnessing the decline of the middle class? How will this impact our economy and social structure?

2. **Inflation and Recession**: With rising inflation and potential economic downturns, what strategies will be implemented to combat these challenges? How will average Americans cope?

3. **Welfare Systems**: How will welfare programs evolve in response to economic pressures? Will there be significant changes to social safety nets?

4. **War and Civil Unrest**: Are we heading towards greater conflict, both internationally and domestically? How will events like the recent ice riots influence public sentiment and government response?

5. **Alien Revelations**: Are we on the brink of discovering extraterrestrial life? Will aliens finally reveal themselves to humanity?

6. **Political Drama**: Will current President Trump face impeachment again? How will his policies impact the political landscape and voter sentiment not to mention the USA as a whole?

7. **Rise of AI**: How will advancements in artificial intelligence reshape industries, job markets, and daily life? Will AI become a powerful ally or a source of concern for society?

**We want to hear from you!** Share your predictions about where you think the world—and the USA—are heading in the next 5, 10, or even 20 years. What changes do you foresee? What challenges and opportunities lie ahead?

Let’s spark a conversation and explore our collective visions for the future! #FuturePredictions #WorldTrends #CommunityThoughts

Simpsons PREDICTED Trump Presidency
[link to www.dailymail.co.uk]

Donald Trump's bid for the White House and ascendancy in the polls has surprised many - but The Simpsons called it 15 years ago.
The cartoon foretold a Trump presidency in a surreal episode where Bart is given a window into the future - and found a country brought to its knees by financial mismanagement and a crime wave ushered in by The Donald.
In Bart to the Future, first aired in March 2000, a fortune teller gave Bart a glimpse of 2030 - just weeks after Trump vacated the White House.


The episode's alternate universe reveals that Trump, who will be 84 in 2030, left the country in an impossible amount of debt, and reliant on foreign aid from Europe and China.
This sorry state of affairs is the exact opposite of Trump's current campaign promise to 'Make America Great Again', and stop 'losing' to other nations.
The recently-unearthed episode is the latest in a series of eerie Simpsons predictions, in which the show has foreseen the Arab Spring, the Ebola crisis and the discovery of the Higgs-Boson particle.
In the episode's vision of the future, America is also at the mercy of an army of genetically-enhanced thugs, brought about by Trump programs designed to help the nation's youth which dramatically backfired.


The only person who can save the shattered United States is none other than the newly-elected President Lisa Simpson.
Despite her lofty ambitions to 'refill the oceans' and build the world's biggest book-mobile, her biggest task becomes rescuing the nation from its crippling debt.
An exchange from Lisa's first cabinet meeting, meeting a balding Millhouse in charge of the nation's finances, starts with a sobering financial summary.
Lisa says: 'As you know, we've inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump. How bad is it, Secretary Van Houten?'
He holds up a graph showing a financial death-plunge and replies: 'We're broke'.


Lisa later asks whether there is any money to fund her campaign pledges - to which another official replies: 'No. We borrowed from every country in the world.'
Lisa is later forced to announce an enormous tax hike in an attempt to right Trump's wrongs, which kills her approval ratings.
It also does nothing to placate the nation's creditors.
But the nation is eventually saved by Bart, a failed musician in the future vision, who uses his well-practiced ability dodging debt repayments to win the United States a reprieve.
As well as its prediction of Trump's presidential ambitions, which he has entertained since at least the 1980s, The Simpsons has given The Donald its signature treatment more recently.
Not long after his controversial campaign launch, where he called Mexican immigrants 'rapists' and 'drug dealers', The Simpsons published a short video featuring Homer and Trump in close quarters.
In the video Homer was slipped $50 by a campaign official to cheer on Trump at the launch, riffing on real-life allegations that The Donald had paid for support.
However, overexcited fans shunted him right behind Trump as he made his way down an escalator - prompting Homer to get sucked inside his much-commented-upon hairdo, where he found other lost souls including Amelia Earhart.
As soon as he was expelled from Trump's
