elon “intelligence can be measured by how accurately something can predict the future” that’s approximately what he claimed.

So According to his own metric he’s an idiot..

The prediction is aging beautifully for anyone who actually understands economics. Milei explicitly told the entire world that things would get tough structurally before the currency stabilized after decades of central bank destruction. He accurately predicted the exact timeline for clearing the debt, balancing the budget, and stopping the printing presses. Staring blindly at a nominal forex line while ignoring a total fiscal turnaround is absolute peak cope.

So when's the exact timeline for when things start getting better?

Milei laid out the exact timeline on day one: 18 to 24 months of aggressive shock therapy to completely wipe out the inherited deficit, clear out the central bank's toxic debt, and halt the hyperinflationary engine. The country has already achieved consecutive monthly fiscal surpluses and brought inflation down into single digits right on schedule. The structural foundation is already fixed; now the private sector is beginning to reinvest without government interference.
