Market context

This market measures the volume of posts Elon Musk publishes to his main X feed during a seven-day window in late May 2026, excluding replies unless they appear as standalone feed items. The tracker captures deletions within approximately five minutes of posting, and counts retweets and quote posts alongside original content. The settlement window runs from 22 May at 17:00 UTC through 29 May at 20:00 UTC.

Musk's posting frequency has historically varied between 5 and 40 posts per week depending on operational demands at Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, alongside broader market volatility and regulatory developments. During periods of acquisition activity or product launches, daily volumes spike considerably; conversely, weeks involving earnings calls or shareholder meetings typically see reduced engagement. The 0% implied probability suggests market participants expect either a scheduled absence, a deliberate communication blackout, or external constraints during this specific week—factors worth cross-referencing against Tesla's 2026 calendar and any announced xAI milestones.

Traders should monitor whether Musk faces regulatory restrictions or litigation holds affecting his social media use, particularly following any SEC enforcement actions or discovery obligations in pending cases. Scheduled product announcements from Tesla or SpaceX during this window would likely drive posting activity upwards; conversely, board-mandated communication protocols or voluntary social media pauses would suppress volume. Recent precedent from 2024–2025 shows Musk occasionally implements multi-day posting breaks during high-stakes negotiations or internal crises, though these remain unpredictable. The German GlüStV framework treats prediction markets under €1,500 notional value as retail-accessible without full KYC, whilst US CFTC oversight applies to binary event contracts regardless of stake size, meaning this market remains accessible to UK-based traders within standard no-KYC thresholds whilst maintaining regulatory compliance across jurisdictions.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

Settlement runs on-chain. Polymarket's contract logic separates YES and NO shares as conditional tokens; at resolution the winning share lifts to $1.00 and the losing one to $0. The outcome input comes from the UMA Optimistic Oracle, which secures against bad resolution with a bond + dispute window.

Once finalised, the smart contract pays USDC to the holders' wallets within minutes — no withdrawal fees beyond Polygon network gas. Kalshi settles in USD via CFTC clearance, Betfair in account currency net of commission, Manifold in play-money mana with no cash-out.

FAQ

Is this market available outside the US?

PolyGram is available in most jurisdictions where Polymarket isn't directly accessible. Polymarket itself is geo-blocked in the US/UK/EU. Always check local regulations.

How does resolution work?

Through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon: a proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and USDC payouts settle automatically once the result is final.

What does it cost to trade on PolyGram?

Zero. PolyGram routes every order to the live Polymarket order book; the only cost is the Polygon network fee, typically under $0.01 per transaction.

Do I need to KYC for this market?

Not under $1,500 of lifetime trading volume. Above that threshold, PolyGram triggers a quick verification flow that finishes in minutes.

How reliable are the quoted odds?

The YES/NO percentages are the live mid-prices of the Polymarket order book. On deep markets they move every few seconds; on thinner ones you'll see short plateaus.
