Elon Musk Mocked For Comically Awful Political Predictions After Ramaswamy Suspends His Campaign

After Vivek Ramaswamy dropped out of the presidential race having come in a distant fourth in Iowa, Musk's political predictions resurfaced—and wow, they're bad.

Billionaire Elon Musk's predictions for the Iowa caucuses were widely criticized after now-former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy suspended his campaign.

Ramaswamy withdrew from the presidential race following a worse-than-expected performance in the Iowa caucuses. Disappointed by the outcome, Ramaswamy announced his decision to drop out and declared his endorsement for former President Donald Trump. The move significantly narrows the field in the Republican primary race, with Trump continuing to dominate the race.


This meant that Musk's prediction about Ramaswamy's performance in the caucus had aged like milk, as liberal commentator Brian Tyler Cohen was happy to remind us.

Mere days ago, Musk surmised that reports that Ramaswamy had conducted "more meetings with voters than all other candidates combined" signaled he would do well in Monday's vote.

But Ramaswamy's failure meant that some of Musk's prior predictions would see the light of day again, per Cohen's post.

For instance, in 2022, Musk predicted there would be a "massive red wave" and announced he'd voted Republican for the first time, casting his vote for Mayra Flores, a former Texas Representative who lost her bid after publicly backing Trump and promoting his baseless lies that the 2020 general election had been stolen from him.

Similarly, Musk once declared that the city of Los Angeles was "fortunate" to have the "awesome" Rick Caruso running for mayor. But Caruso lost—he ran as a Democrat and lost to progressive Democratic former Rep. Karen Bass (Caruso had previously registered as non-partisan, and before that he was a Republican.)

After Musk's awful predictions resurfaced, social media users took it upon themselves to pile on with the mockery.


Ramaswamy, who secured the fourth position in the Iowa caucuses, became the only candidate to exit the race following the first-in-the-nation vote in Iowa. In endorsing Trump, he pledged to champion an "America First" agenda and revealed plans to attend a Trump campaign rally in New Hampshire.

Ramaswamy entered the presidential race without any prior political experience. His campaign, marked by controversy over its endorsement of conspiracy theories, advocated for the end of birthright citizenship and affirmative action. Additionally, he proposed the closure of government agencies such as the Education Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Internal Revenue Service.

Despite positioning himself as an outsider aligned with Trump's "America First" agenda, Ramaswamy struggled to gain significant traction. Trump, who secured a resounding victory in Iowa, criticized Ramaswamy, branding him a "fraud" and cautioning Republicans that supporting him would align with the "other side."

Trump Ripped After Griping About 'Sissy' New NFL Kickoff Rule In Unhinged Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after he complained about the NFL's new "Dynamic Kickoff" rule that is designed to make playing football safer, calling it "sissy" football in a Monday morning post on Truth Social.

Under the previous rules, kickoffs began at the kicking team’s 35-yard line, with the goal of sending the ball as far as possible to pin the opposing offense deep in its own territory. The receiving team would try to advance the ball, which would often lead to high-speed collisions as players sprinted directly at each other.

Political Commentator Epically Fact-Checks Vance's Baseless Claims About Political Violence

In the wake of far-right activist Charlie Kirk's assassination, Vice President JD Vance has stepped up his attacks on leftists, this time by baselessly claiming that the far-left is more likely to commit political violence than the far-right.

Vance hosted a special episode of Kirk's podcast to attack what he referred to as “the lunatics in American politics" and said without any evidence that the suspect in Kirk's killing was motivated by far-left ideology.
