David Weiss was appointed special counsel in the Hunter Biden matter on August 11, 2023. 【0search0】 After the appointment, his office secured indictments and brought cases to trial on a timeline that clearly predated the 2024 election:

• Gun case: Weiss indicted Hunter Biden on three federal gun charges on September 14, 2023. 【0search0】 The federal gun trial in Delaware began on June 3, 2024, with jury selection and opening proceedings that day, and concluded in a guilty verdict on June 11, 2024. 【1search1】【1search2】【1search12】
• Tax case: Weiss’s office indicted Hunter Biden on nine federal tax charges on December 7, 2023. 【0search0】 That trial was rescheduled to September 5, 2024, in Los Angeles federal court, still before Election Day. 【0search5】【0search14】【1search12】

The 2024 U.S. presidential election was held on November 5, 2024. 【2search12】【2search13】 Thus, at least one Weiss-led Hunter Biden case went to trial and reached a verdict about five months before the election (the gun case in June), and the tax case also reached the trial/plea stage in early September, roughly two months before Election Day.

Given that both criminal matters under Special Counsel Weiss advanced to trial proceedings well before November 5, 2024, Chamath’s core prediction that the Hunter Biden case "will move to trial quickly (well before the 2024 election)" is best classified as right on the measurable timing claim, even though "quickly" is somewhat subjective.
