I bet he, elon, and trump will try for something big spacewise before the 4 years of trump's presidency are up. Knowing literally nothing about any of this, that is my one prediction

There's already a lot in motion that should happen in the next 4 years that they'll probably try to take credit for. The Artemis 2 moon flyby and Artemis 3 moon landing should happen in that window. The first private space stations should also start to launch.

Jared Isaacman also wants to send up a Hubble servicing mission in a SpaceX Dragon, which he'll probably have the clout to authorize now.
