January 25, 2026, 6:59 AM EST. Online prediction markets are rewarding bettors who wager against Elon Musk's ambitious but unrealized plans. Platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket show bettors earning tens of thousands of dollars by betting Musk won't deliver on promises including a California robotaxi service and a third U.S. political party. Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has a mixed track record with bold statements yet spotty follow-through, particularly on self-driving cars and political initiatives. David Bensoussan, a top Polymarket bettor, made significant returns betting Musk wouldn't form a new political party or accomplish other goals on schedule. Despite Musk's huge fan base and past successes like reusable rockets, his timelines and hyperbolic claims create opportunities for skeptics to profit.
