Stake Your Wagers: Political Betting Sites Offer Odds on Trump-Musk Conflict
In a surprising turn of events, the tech world and the political sphere have been shook up by an unprecedented feud between two influential figures: Elon Musk and Donald Trump. The feud, which began in early June 2025, has sent shockwaves through the markets, particularly for companies like SpaceX, Tesla, and even Dogecoin (DOGE).
The feud seems to have originated from Elon Musk's criticism of Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill." This criticism has ignited a series of back-and-forth exchanges, with Trump accusing Musk of drug use (+150 odds) and Musk announcing SpaceX's immediate decommissioning of its Dragon spacecraft.
The feud has also led to a betting frenzy, with political sportsbooks offering a variety of prop markets. The most outlandish wager is Melania Trump working for Musk (+10000 odds), while Musk endorsing Democrats is listed at +1000. The over/under for Tesla's stock price is set at $250.50 with -115 odds on both sides, reflecting the uncertainty surrounding the company amidst the chaos.
Trump's response to the feud has been firm, threatening to cancel SpaceX and Tesla's federal contracts. He has also posted a fake AI image of Musk (+110 odds), adding fuel to the fire.
Musk's aggressive pushback has further fuelled speculation that he may fund a political challenger. However, the odds suggest it's anyone's fight in the Trump-Musk feud.
Amidst this turmoil, Tesla's stock has taken a hit, with the company losing $150 billion in market value. The termination of DOGE is listed at odds of +425, adding another layer of uncertainty to the cryptocurrency market.
Interestingly, Trump's nickname for Elon is being hotly debated, with options such as Ego/Egocentric or Mad at odds of 600, Oddball at 700, Addict/Addicted at 800, Autism/Autistic or Weird/Weirdo at 1000, Impulsive at 1200, and Junkie at 2500.
The feud between Musk and Trump was effectively ended before August 2025, as by then Trump had replaced Musk with a Tesla board member and appointed a new digital aide, indicating their former alliance had broken months earlier.
As the feud unfolds, it serves as a stark reminder of the intertwined nature of tech and politics in today's world. Stay tuned for more updates as this story continues to develop.
