This scenario assumes a focus on reducing taxes, cutting regulations, promoting the use of fossil fuels, and investing heavily in infrastructure, with a pro-business stance.

• This increase is driven by supply chain pressures and inflation, but Trump's deregulation and Musk's tech innovations may help mitigate some cost.
• Due to increased reliance on fossil fuels and limited moves towards electric vehicle adoption in the near term
• Pro-business policies, infrastructure investment, and Musk's technological advancements lead to job growth.
• Due to tax cuts, defense spending, and infrastructure investment without immediate tax revenue increases.
• Continued economic growth from deregulation may eventually stabilize inflation.
• Strong economic expansion as deregulation and infrastructure investments drive growth.

• Rising as the economy grows and wages adjust to new jobs created in tech and infrastructure sectors.
• The Fed raises rates to combat inflation while maintaining the strength of the dollar
• Strong demand driven by economic growth and more people entering the market.
• Increased demand for housing with higher rent as housing supply remains tight.

Tech-Driven, Musk-Focused Innovation - Model 2 of 4

In this scenario, Musk’s influence leads to accelerated electric vehicle adoption, space exploration, and high-tech infrastructure projects, with lower energy costs from renewables

• Slow but steady increases as tech-driven efficiency helps supply chains, but inflationary pressures remain.
• Shift to electric vehicles and renewable energy investments reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
• High demand for tech jobs and space-related industries.
• Technological investments and space exploration add costs, but efficiency in other sectors balances this out.
• Technological advances, especially in energy, help reduce inflationary pressures.
• Tech and innovation drive GDP, with SpaceX and Tesla pushing new industries.
• Higher demand for high-skilled workers boosts income, especially in tech and renewables.
• Interest rates increase slightly to maintain economic growth, but the tech-driven economy remains strong.
• A tech boom drives housing demand, but new tech-driven cities help offset rising costs.
• Rising demand as tech industries create wealth and jobs.

Tightened Regulations, Return to Energy Independence - Model 3 of 4

Year	Average Cost Of Groceries	Gas Price	Unemployment Rate	National Deficit	Inflation Rate	GDP Growth Rate	Median Household Income	Federal Interest Rate:	Housing Market Median Price	Avg Monthly Rent:
2024	$438	$3.66	3.9%	1.7T	2.4%	1.9%	$74,000	5.5%	$415,000	$2,047

This model assumes more protectionist policies, such as increased tariffs and a focus on energy independence, which could slow some technological advancements but push for job growth in domestic industries.

• Supply chain disruptions from tariffs and regulatory changes lead to higher grocery prices.
• Energy independence and domestic oil production policies may lead to higher prices in the short term.
• Focus on domestic job creation helps bring down unemployment gradually.
• Tariffs, defense spending, and energy subsidies could increase the deficit.
• Inflation remains high due to tariffs and energy costs, but decreases as domestic production ramps up.
• Economic growth is slower due to higher costs from tariffs and energy production investments.
• Steady income growth as domestic jobs are created in traditional industries.
• Higher rates to counter inflationary pressures and support the economy.
• Rising prices due to demand for housing and slower supply due to regulatory restrictions.

• Rent increases as demand outpaces supply in a growing economy.
