Musk's quote-tweet dramatically increased Trump's election odds on Polymarket from a 3% lead over Kamala Harris to a nearly 10-point advantage, showcasing the influence of social media on betting markets.
Polymarket operates like a decentralized betting platform, allowing users to wager on various events with significant growth this year, particularly around the upcoming presidential election.
The backing from prominent figures like Peter Thiel and a favorable court decision for Kalshi indicates that betting markets may become a staple in U.S. politics, pointing to a cultural shift in how elections are perceived.
With the growing popularity of election betting, Polymarket aims to capitalize on this trend, continuously sharing election updates and engaging with high-profile individuals like Musk to enhance visibility.
