I have a lot of respect for Mike Pondsmith, the guy that came up with the Cyberpunk setting (as in, the setting that Cyberpunk 2077 is based on). Although he failed to predict technological breakthroughs like wifi, he was impressively precognizant on things like Europe coalescing into a supernational state (called EEC in his setting), the Soviet Union regressing into an oligarchy controlled state and the general outcome of a cold war if US was the loser. He failed to predict rise of China though and China being a big player in 2077 is a more recent patch to the setting.
He predicts fall of US originates from a war in central America, initially around Panama Canal that he calls First Central American War where US attempts to retake the canal due to national defence reasons. EU or rather EEC funded central American resistance and it ended up being an Afghan style quagmire that drained the remaining strength of US, leading to its collapse and reformation as New United States in a technocratic neo-feudal state where MIC megacorp like Militech enjoys company rule over NUSA. US military involvement in Central America is such a big part of the setting that it shows up in things like Johnny Silverhand, called as such because he lost his original human left arm while fighting in one of the central American wars under US military and had it replaced with cyberware.
It seems like a lot of elements in real life is playing towards that direction. I wonder if Musk is looking up to reserve the Militech name right now.
