Polymarket just added a new prediction contract: Will Elon Musk rejoin the Trump administration before year end? It's the kind of speculative market that shows how prediction platforms are becoming more accessible for on-chain trading. Whether you're bullish or bearish on the possibility, the market mechanism itself demonstrates how Web3 platforms are expanding beyond traditional use cases into event forecasting. Another example of how decentralized platforms are experimenting with real-world outcome verification.

Coming back to bet on Musk? These people are really bored with nothing to do. --- By the way, is this prediction market really reliable? It feels like a gambler's paradise. --- Polymarket's stuff, honestly, is just about hype. --- Laughing, on-chain trading predicting politics? Web3 really dares to play. --- Wait, no, how do you verify the results of this? Who's the judge? --- Another "decentralized" business. I think sooner or later it will still be centralized. --- Can this kind of contract really become popular? It always feels like a niche thing. --- Anyway, I don't touch political-related markets; too many uncertainties. --- What is Polymarket doing now? They're listing everything.

Hmm... I have to go all-in with this thing. Elon Musk's return to politics is bound to happen. Stay firm in your conviction and don't move. The retail short-sellers are probably bad-mouthing again.

Is this market hot or not? I bet he won't come back.

With such an obvious liquidity gap, how much can slippage be reduced?

NGL, the popularity of this betting on horse racing is indeed high, but can it truly verify the results...

This bet is outrageous, really daring to put everything on the chain.

Once again, it's a gamble on Elon... Can this kind of prediction market truly verify reality?

This prediction market gameplay is indeed quite wild, but I bet that this contract will ultimately fall into endless disputes due to the verification results.
