Your predictions were spot on wow. Do you think this is going to hurt or help their brands? And separately do you think there is a space for new junior devs in this work environment?

I think it might end up hurting a bit but hopefully not. Hack Reactor's brand was hurt a bit when it was acquired, because it used to be like the Codesmith-level entry bar, and since being acquired they grew to larger cohorts and a lower entry bar. My completely personal opinion hunch is they will replace the instruction and curriculum in Tech Elevator with Hack Reactor/Galvanize curriculum, and leverage Tech Elevator more for it's partnerships in smaller cities like Cleveland and Columbus.
