Elon Musk reacted to Medvedev’s ‘forecasts’ for 2023, calling them absurd
The head of Twitter, Elon Musk, called the forecasts for 2023 ‘absurd’, which were published on the social network by the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Medvedev.
At first, the billionaire called the thread published by Medvedev on the evening of December 26 ‘epic’. Later, he laughed at the Russian official’s tweets and set up a Twitter bot to remind him of Medvedev’s ‘forecasts’ for the year.
Those are definitely the most absurd predictions I’ve ever heard, while also showing astonishing lack of awareness of the progress of artificial intelligence and sustainable energy.

‘These are by far the most absurd predictions I’ve ever heard, they show a staggering ignorance of the progress of artificial intelligence and sustainable energy,’ Musk concluded.
Medvedev, publishing his forecasts for the coming year, noted that ‘many are practicing futuristic hypotheses, competing in the most unexpected and even absurd proposals.’ In 2023, in his opinion, 10 events may take place in the world:
- Oil rises in price to $150 per barrel, gas to $5,000 per thousand cubic meters;
- Great Britain will return to the European Union;
- The European Union will collapse, the euro will go out of circulation;
- Poland and Hungary will seize the western regions of Ukraine;
- Germany and the satellites that “joined it” will create the Fourth Reich;
- the war between France and the Fourth Reich would split Europe;
- Northern Ireland will secede from Britain and join Ireland;
- a civil war will take place in the USA, as a result of which some of the states will leave their composition, and Elon Musk will become the president.
- Financial activity will shift to Asia.
- The IMF and the World Bank will cease to exist. The world will abandon the dollar and euro, return to the gold standard and use digital fiat currencies.
“Welcome to you, Anglo-Saxon friends and their grunting pigs!” — the former prime minister, and now the main alcoholic of the Kremlin Medvedev, concluded the forecast.
Musk and Medvedev occasionally comment on each other’s tweets. After the resignation of British Prime Minister Liz Truss, Medvedev congratulated the lettuce on Twitter, which “lasted longer than Truss.”
In response, Musk asked Medvedev how the Russian army is doing in Bakhmut, where the heaviest battles are going on. Medvedev invited the billionaire to Moscow to celebrate Victory Day.
