Elon Musk buys Boeing and becomes the first trillionaire
The world richest man Elon Musk takes-over Boeing. The aircraft company had massive engineering problems and lost its track against competitor Airbus. An ideal scenario for engineering driven Elon Musk. With a net worth of 400bn USD Elon Musk will easily acquire Boeing via its SpaceX venture. Boeing which has a market cap of currently 132bn USD will be taken private and Elon will radically restructure and turn-around the airplane manufacturer. Result: Elon dominates with Tesla the global EV car market and with Boeing the global aviation market. Subsequently the merger of Boeing with SpaceX will be the largest ever IPO in history and Elon will become the first trillionaire.
Elon turns X (Twitter) into a listed company and Donald Trump strikes Gold
Elon Musk acquired Twitter for 40bn USD in 2022 and took the company private. Then he antagonized the mainly progressive X customers and the value of X plummeted towards USD 5bn. Meanwhile Donald Trump owns 57% of publicly listed Truth Social (a X copycat) which has a market cap of 7bn USD. Donald Trump mainly posts his news on Truth Social. Elon Musk merges his X into listed Truth Social valuing Truth Social at three times its current market cap while at the same time acquiring the US Business of TikTok. Donald Trump´s stake balloons from 4bn USD to 12bn USD. As a gratitude towards non-US born Elon Musk, Donald Trump via NASA confers to him the title of first President of the Planet Mars.
The EURO currency plunges 20% to 0,8 against the US Dollar
The ongoing economic recession plunges Germany as a social welfare state into fiscal troubles. Corporate tax revenues plunge and unemployment strongly rises in Germany to 9% from 5,7%. At the same time three large German cities de facto become cash-strapped and need to be bailed out by the federal government. Investors understand that French fiscal problems in the EU are spilling-over to Germany so that the constitutional debt-brake (Schuldenbremse) has to be loosened sending 10 year Bund yields from currently 2,35% to 3,5% resulting in a downward drift for the Euro of 20% versus the US Dollar over the next twelve month.
Far-right politician Alice Weidel becomes the next Chancellor of Germany
German early elections scheduled for February 2025 will be postponed because the German Green party tries to block the far-right AFD from participating via seeking an injunction at court level arguing that Russia and Elon Musk are interfering to the benefit of the AFD. The court rejects the injunction and sets the date for elections to June 2025.
Goldman Sachs trained Weidel against all odds wins the June elections and pushes Germany towards reforms to bring more momentum and dynamic to the ailing German economy. The export-driven Dax index extends its strong run into the year 2025 by rising another 20% mainly due to a weaker Euro currency. Especially bombed-out shares of German car producers are rebounding also driven by speculation that BMW will acquire fellow peer Mercedes to create the world largest luxury car producer.
Chinese economy will underperform major other economies and Chinese bond yields will collapse below zero
With an ageing population and shrinking workforce China will feel the pain of being indebted with the real estate sector in big trouble. Some 80 million flats are empty and vacant, banks have trouble collecting their loans. Already today deflationary trends are visible. The 1-year bond yield stands at 0,9% and the 10y bond yield at a dismal 1,74% clearly signaling danger of deflation. The communist party has to reflate the economy. The Chinese central bank announces quantitative easing measures and starts buying Chinese government and bank bonds. To avoid a banking collapses the central bank massively buys bank loans and recapitalizes banks.
The result: short term Chinese yields will drop below zero percent for the first time ever. But to no avail. The economy will stay sluggish because of US tariffs. With the Chinese economy in dire straits demand for copper and oil will collapse and prices will fall by 30% in 2025.
Inflation will double in the USA and the FED will hike rates, NASDAQ will dive and so will bitcoin
Trump policies of reducing migration into the USA and building a tariff wall around the US to fend of cheap cars and products from China will push up inflation especially due to wage growth and rising input costs. Inflation will double to 5,5% from currently 2,7% and the FED have to hike the Fed rates from currently 4,5% to 6,0%. This unexpected rise in interest rates will impact growth stocks, especially the NASDAQ as happened in 2022. Expect the Nasdaq to fall by 10-15% in 2025 and also to drag Bitcoin from 93K USD to 80K USD.
Our incredible predictions in Sports, Arts and Culture for 2025
Marathon: The world record in men´s marathon will be broken and for the first time in human history in an official race the time barrier of 2:00hours will be shattered with a new world record time of 1 hour and 59 minutes and 10 seconds.
Formula 1: Lewis Hamilton will again get back on the winning track with its new Ferrari Team. Ferrari will be F1 champions again after 2007 (17 years ago Kimi Räikönnen was the last Ferrari driver to win the F1 championship) and Lewis Hamilton will lay the ground work in 2025 to become the new F1 champion again. He will be then record holder of most F1 wins with 8 times being F1 champion followed by Michael Schumacher with 7 wins.
Music: the first AI generated song to hit the charts was created in 2024 and hit spot number 46 in the German pop charts produced by Butterbro with the title “Verknallt in einen Talahon’’. Expect in 2025 for the first time a completely AI generated song to hit the number 1 billboard charts in the US subsequently grossing more than 100 million USD on Spotify and Apple Music.
Arts: Maurizio Cattelan´s work “Comedian”, a banana taped to the wall auctioned in 2024 for a record USD 6,2 million to a crypto billionaire Mr. Justin Sun founder of Bittorrent and crypto token Tron. Expect in 2025 more artworks to be snapped up by the crypto bros. We expect for 2025 the first ever painting to be sold above the magic 1bn USD mark. It will be an Italian classical renaissance painting auctioned off by a private museum thus breaking the current record for the most expensive painting of Leonardo da Vinci´s Salvator Mundi sold for a record breaking 450m USD in 2017 to the royal house of Saudi.
Literature: The Nobel Prize for Literature will be awarded for the first time to a humanoid AI-robot that has produced more than three novels in 2025 that hit the number one spot successively in the New York Times Bestseller list. The AI-robot belongs to NVDIA group. This comes after the 2024 Nobel Prize for Chemistry was awarded to Demis Hassebis of Deep Mind/Google for their ground breaking work on “protein structure predictions” based on alphafold2 AI models.
