Ilon Musk, a businessman and founder of SpaceX, offered American writer Stephen King to bet on whether Republican candidate Donald Trump will win the upcoming presidential election...
The betting offer was made on his social network X (formerly Twitter). ‘Trump will win. Want to place a bet?’ - Musk wrote.
This is how the billionaire responded to King, who called ‘delusional’ data about Trump's significant advantage in the betting market. According to bookmakers, 67% of players believe in Trump's victory, while 33.2% bet on Vice President Kamala Harris.
Max commented on these data with the words ‘69.420% soon’.
The US presidential election will be held on 5 November 2024. According to the average data of the portal FiveThirtyEight, as of 31 October, Harris is supported by 48% of voters, and Trump - 46.7%.
Ilon Musk is one of the most prominent people openly supporting Trump. He has made numerous appearances at the Republican's campaign events. The businessman criticises the Democrats and predicts the onset of a ‘Harris regime’ with serious censorship if they win.
King had previously suggested that the X owner give his blue tick to a foundation that provided aid to Ukraine. In response, Musk wrote that he had ‘donated $100 million to Ukraine, how much have you donated?’.
