How WALL-E Predicted the Future
The latest mission from SpaceX, Elon Musk’s space company, confirmed a suspicion I’ve long held: The 2008 Pixar Animation Studios flick WALL-E is the science fiction movie that best predicted our future.
The film depicts an Earth rendered uninhabitable by climate change, with the last living humans obese space tourists who communicate solely via video call and rely on meal replacement smoothies for sustenance. There are eerie similarities to much of our current reality, with extreme weather events rising in frequency, obesity rates soaring, Zoom calls taking over our lives, and the rise of meal replacement firms such as Soylent and Huel.
The characters’ ship is called the Axiom, which is where SpaceX comes in. The company’s April 8 launch ferried three tourists to the International Space Station for a 12-day trip, and was dubbed “Axiom Mission 1”-surely not an accident.

How about Terminator movies? They're made for us to Fear robots. The most interesting prediction is from George Carlin because it still apply today after his death. Slavery didn't end after the civil war, it was modified to include everyone. --George Carlin That's the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it. --George Carlin

Wall-E's warning was not environmental per se, but the corporatists' massive impact on our personal lives like a totalitarian state, with the AI being implemented on top of them.
Looking at how things are in 2023, yeah, WALL-E did predict the future.
Even Stanton didn’t like how the movie predicted the future in which where we are right now. Yeah, I feel his pain.
I thought BNL was a Walmart Amazon fusion
our fat asses gonna be lying around on auto chairs and have a floating screen.
Yup and Mike Judd’s movie Idiocracy predicted how ignorant the majority of our population has become just go to your local Walmart….or Costco 😆

Yep. And this. It's call dumb Amerika part 2 (KZread censored those 2 words for some reason) by George Carlin He talks about how the top 2% own and control everything's. Their job is to deprived the US population of critical thinking through fake news to make us fight among ourselves.
That was really good, very impressive, cool and fascinating 👌👍❤✨, and the axiom is perfect for the future for the astronauts and the people, just incase if is emergencies 😀.

The axiom just needs earth touch and some inventions details to it, and see the dinosaurs what really happened and the axiom is the perfect ship for the family time capsules, and because the ship is incredible and is make us the chosen one for the future 😀.
So Elon must be a fan of Wall-E
y’all gotta see Elysium, same direction
