One prediction market prices this story:

  • SpaceX / SPCX — the market puts it at 20%, with $1k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Donald Trump explicitly mentions SpaceX or SPCX before October 1, 2026 at 12:00 am ET. It resolves to No if he does not make such a statement by that deadline. Readers often mistake the date of the linked news story for the resolution deadline.

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.
