Assessment of the prediction
Chamath’s prediction was that “there is a very good chance that these guys are going to win these two Senate seats”—i.e., he assigned a high likelihood that Democrats would win both Georgia runoff races. Since Democrats did, in fact, win both Senate seats in the January 5, 2021 runoffs, the prediction is right.
