Twitter is like click-bait, but without the actual article.
Prominent personalities spew cryptic "profound" comments. The masses are supposed to fawn over them and speculate whatever this enlightened sage might mean by it. Like we just discovered the meaning of life scrawled on an ancient rock if only we could decipher those symbols.
My advice is ignore any prediction unless there's enough data and logic to back them up. Even if someone has a track record of predicting correctly, there's little to gain when you have no substance to triangulate between viewpoints and form your own view.
There might be some utility in looking at a poll of subject matter experts asked the same question(s), or a prediction market, but one person's idle speculation is noise.
