  • Before 2027 — the market puts it at 2%, 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.
  • Above $1.8 trillion — the market puts it at 6%, with $1 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Dec 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Forbes reports Elon Musk's net worth exceeds $1.8 trillion on December 31, 2026 at 5:00 PM ET. It resolves to No if the value falls below that threshold or if Forbes does not report it by that time. Readers often mistake the source of truth, assuming any financial publication counts instead of only Forbes.
