I'd say in the next 30 to 60 days, you're going to see ten incredibly high profile people come out in support of Trump if Biden isn't swapped out. And when I say high profile, I have the inside line on this extremely high profile people. Not just Doug Leone, not just David Sax. And it is going to be about ten high profile people who are much higher profile respectfully than Chamath and Sacks and Doug Leone.View on YouTube
Biden’s status condition was effectively met during the relevant period. Jason said this on June 7, 2024, and conditioned the prediction on Biden not being “swapped out.” Biden did not announce his withdrawal until July 21, 2024, and Kamala Harris was not formally made the Democratic nominee until August 6, 2024, so throughout most of the 30–60 day window (July 7–August 6) Biden was still the presumptive nominee.
Within roughly 40 days of June 7, at least ten very high‑profile figures—clearly better known to the general public than Chamath Palihapitiya, David Sacks, or Doug Leone—publicly backed Trump:
- Elon Musk explicitly endorsed Trump on X on July 13, 2024, shortly after the assassination attempt, saying “I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery.” (slaynews.com)
- Bill Ackman formally endorsed Trump on X on July 14, 2024, after the same shooting. (washingtonpost.com)
- Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, co‑founders of Andreessen Horowitz, publicly said in a July 16, 2024 podcast that they were supporting and voting for Trump, explaining why they preferred his policies to Biden’s. (techcrunch.com)
- At the Republican National Convention (July 15–18, 2024), multiple mainstream celebrities endorsed Trump from the stage, including Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock, Dana White, Amber Rose, and Savannah Chrisley. (en.wikipedia.org)
- The same coverage notes Azealia Banks appearing at a Trump rally in support of him during the summer as well. (fox5atlanta.com)
Counting Musk, Ackman, Andreessen, Horowitz, Hogan, Kid Rock, Dana White, Amber Rose, Savannah Chrisley, and Azealia Banks gives at least ten individuals whose mainstream name recognition is, by ordinary standards, substantially higher than the three VCs Jason named. These endorsements occurred between July 13 and the RNC (July 15–18), squarely inside the 30–60 day post–June 7 window, while Biden was still the presumptive nominee. Given that both the timing and the volume/visibility of endorsements match what Jason forecast, the prediction is best scored as right, acknowledging that "extremely high‑profile" is somewhat subjective but clearly satisfied by figures like Musk and Hogan.
