Trump's chances of winning the election are ahead of Harris in the prediction market, Musk says it is more accurate than the polls

The combined odds on multiple platforms show that Trump is ahead of Harris in the probability of winning the US election, including a projected lead of 281 to 257 electoral votes. Elon Musk highlighted Trump's recent lead and said that prediction markets are a more "accurate" indicator of voters' current sentiment. Musk posted on X: "Trump is now 3% ahead of Harris in the relevant prediction market. More accurate than polls because it's about actual money." The recent ruling by the US court in favor of prediction markets and the ruling that betting on major political events such as the presidential election is legal has greatly boosted the platforms that provide such markets. However, as Election Day approaches, political analysts warn against over-reliance on such markets, because while these markets reflect current sentiment, they are also subject to last-minute changes.
