If Vivek doesn't figure out a way to slipstream past Trump, that Trump will win the nomination.View on YouTube
Explanation

Vivek Ramaswamy never “slipstreamed past” or overtook Donald Trump in the GOP electorate: he finished a distant fourth in the Iowa caucuses, then suspended his 2024 Republican presidential campaign and endorsed Trump, acknowledging there was no viable path forward for himself.(apnews.com) Donald Trump went on to clinch the 2024 Republican presidential nomination by securing the required delegate majority on March 12, 2024, and was later formally nominated as the GOP presidential candidate at the Republican National Convention in July 2024.(forbes.com) Since the condition Chamath stated (“if Vivek doesn’t figure out a way to slipstream past Trump”) was met, and the predicted outcome (“Trump will win the nomination”) also occurred, the prediction is judged right.
