2 prediction markets price this story:
- Before 2027 — the market puts it at 6%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Elon Musk ceases to be Tesla's CEO before January 1, 2027. It resolves to No if he remains in that role through the end of 2026. Readers often mistake the release date of the linked documentary for the resolution deadline.
- Will Tesla be the largest company in the world by market cap on December 31? — the market puts it at 0%, with $3k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. Tesla must hold the highest global market capitalization at the end of the trading day on December 31, 2026, to trigger the Yes outcome. Any other company holding that top spot results in a No outcome. Readers often mistake the date for the current year or assume mid-day valuations count instead of the official market close.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
