Another of Musk's companies achieves a killer landmark. Maybe space turns out to be profitable. Maybe cities do massive transport projects. Maybe neuralink pushes an update and everyone knows kung fu. A million solar roofs. Antitrust becomes a big deal. Landmark rulings will be on marketplaces: ubers, app stores, Amazon's retail & ebook markets, adwords etc. Regulators target cases where a company [a] dominates a Market (eg equity finance) with their market (eg NASDAQ) [b] is a major participant in that market and [c] it's an explicit marketplace. Things get beaurocratic. Labour markets get worse at the bottom end of the "white collar" market. The economics of "automation" remain subtle and debatable until something dramatic becomes the symbol of economic automation. Could be driverless cars, but it could also be a zero-employee chainstore. At this point automation becomes political-economic narrative. This will happen regardless of the actual economic realities of automation, on which I have no prediction. Actual energy game changers start to emerge, ones that genuinely drive major cost/price/volume changes.^ People lose interest in politics again, in direct misproportion to its importance. Hacker News gets a makeover ^If solarcity does this, I get points for the 1st prediction too.
