2 prediction markets price this story:

  • Musk — the market puts it at 31%, with $5 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Dec 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Elon Musk is officially nominated for Best Documentary Feature Film at the 99th Academy Awards. It resolves to No if he does not receive a nomination by the time the Academy announces its official list. Readers often mistake the release of Alex Gibney's documentary as sufficient, but only an Oscar nomination counts toward resolution.
  • Musk — the market puts it at 4%, closing 31 Dec 2027. The market resolves to Yes if the film 'Musk' wins Best Documentary Feature at the 99th Academy Awards. It resolves to No if it does not win that specific award. Readers often mistake the news story about TikTok banning the documentary's account for the resolution criteria.
