Major political changes in the United States leads to the passage of extraordinary legislation targeting the concentration of private wealth. The American government successfully seizes the entirety of Elon Musk's personal fortune, including his shares in major companies, investments, and other assets. Rather than distributing the money domestically, the government reaches an international settlement that transfers the net proceeds of the confiscation to South Africa, Musk's country of birth.

The sudden influx of capital presents South Africa with an extraordinary opportunity. The country could use the money to modernize its electricity grid, expand railways and ports, improve water infrastructure, build housing, strengthen public education, and invest in domestic manufacturing.

Allowing for rapid islamic expansion into the balkans and italy. How different would the world be today?

When i say this i mean all california states/provinces.

so baja california, baja california sur, and republic of california all become one country.

California would carry most of the weight since  in the us would still be one of the riches countries in the world and have a huge population, while having a giant film and tech industry.
