As of June 2025, the United States is experiencing a dynamic period of political events and happenings. The incumbent President Donald Trump has introduced a comprehensive legislative proposal, named the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA or OBBB). According to Trump, this is designed to address key national priorities and reshape the future of the country. This bill seeks to tackle various issues, from economic and social revitalisation to environmental initiatives.
The proposed "Big Beautiful Bill" has received a mixed reception across the political spectrum. Many find OBBBA as a necessary and important policy towards national prosperity while critics are arguing that its sweeping provisions are fiscally irresponsible and detrimental to various sectors of society.
Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, has been one of the most vocal critics of the proposed bill. Musk has found the bill "utterly insane" and warned that this would "severely hurt ordinary Americans" and lead to "debt slavery." Elon Musk, very recently, announced that he would launch a political party named "The America Party" if the bill gets passed at the Parliament.
These events and political happenings aren't significant for the United States only; their impact will be felt across the world. You will find many news articles and videos with timely updates. Here we'll drift a little and comment (and predict) about the nature of the Expert Analysis and Social Commentary we are seeing and might see in the future.
The Shifting Sands of Expert and Social Commentary
We often pay close attention to the opinions of specialists and the larger chorus of societal criticism. However, a closer examination shows that these assessments often lack solid foundations and actual independence. As it turns out, their evaluations are frequently greatly impacted by results rather than intrinsic value.
Please think about a typical situation. You've worked for a private company for four or five years in a steady, well-paying position with a good income and perks. You then make the decision to forgo that stability in order to start your own startup business. After a few years, there are two probable outcomes— either your initiative business would flourish and succeed, or it would fail.
The narrative and the commentaries swiftly change if your entrepreneurial effort turns out to be successful. Suddenly, the voices, whether they be specialists or bystanders, will praise your bravery for taking chances. They will commend you for having the courage to leave your "comfort zone", that safe career with its reliable income, and set out on an unpredictable path to follow your passions and goals.
However, if your startup project fails, the conversation, those same voices, take a whole different turn. That same set of professionals and individuals will regret for your failure, frequently with a tinge of "I told you so." They will complain about your alleged stupidity for leaving a safe position to pursue something uncertain and futile".
This striking contrast illustrates how analysis and discussion frequently correspond to the outcome. When your efforts pays off, especially in the form of earnings, everyone applauds your daring activities. The same voices, however, are prepared to draw a clear cause-and-effect relationship when those efforts fail, painstakingly outlining how foolish and naive your original thoughts were. It acts as a reminder that all perceptions are frequently tainted by the wisdom of hindsight.
You'll find similar contrasting examples in countless other areas. Stock Markets experts often predict stock indexes or specific stocks to perform bullish or bearish in a specific week or on a day. In reality, when the stock market index or the specific scrips run exactly on the opposite side, the same experts appear on television or on YouTube, and start explaining all rationales for the moves. For example, stock market analysts frequently anticipate whether indexes or individual scrips (stocks) will see bullish or bearish performance during a particular day or week. In actuality, when the market index or those particular scrips move in the exact opposite direction, the same experts quickly explain all the "rationales" for the surprise moves on television or YouTube.
The America Party, Elon Musk and the Possible Shifting Sands
The phenomenon of shifting commentary might very well occur with Elon Musk's proposed "The America Party." Imagine, for example, if the political party is officially launched in a few months and starts to acquire considerable momentum, possibly even influencing policymaking, elections, or effectively advancing its political activities, then the narrative surrounding Musk's political foray will be overwhelmingly positive. His "visionary leadership," "courage to disrupt a broken system," and "unconventional genius" that transcends technology into the realm of government will undoubtedly be praised by experts and critics.
On the other hand, the criticism will rapidly mount if "The America Party" fails to gain public support, if its campaigns are not successful, or if it has little impact on the political environment. The same voices who may have once applauded his ambition will then regret his 'misguided distraction' from his primary talents. Critics will claim that Musk "should have stuck to his rockets and electric cars," arguing that his adventures into the "unknown arena of politics" were a grave error.
This is an ongoing, very active political happening that is taking place right now. We will be watching carefully these developments. We have a feeling that the comments patterns we have mentioned are going to happen.

General Comments
One question arises: how should each of us individually navigate this environment in our day-to-day activities and choices? Expert and social judgment often turns out to be of minimal practical usefulness, acting only as effects that describe a cause or results that attempt to explain activities that were unclear at the time. This is possibly the way life is and a basic human propensity.
