Tracks the leading outcome in a winner-take-all prediction market set with 2 outcomes.

Why this matters:
This prediction reflects a market assessment that Elon Musk has an 84% chance of reaching a $1 trillion net worth before January 2028—roughly 20 months from now. The high probability is driven primarily by Tesla's valuation and Musk's substantial equity stake, combined with the company's historical growth trajectory and his ownership of X and SpaceX. The main uncertainty hinges on Tesla's stock performance relative to current levels; a sustained decline would materially lower the probability, while significant appreciation would increase it. The resolution depends on tracking Musk's verifiable net worth through standard financial data sources on or around the deadline. Key catalysts include quarterly Tesla earnings reports, SpaceX valuation updates if fundraising occurs, and macroeconomic shifts affecting tech stocks.

Key factors:
- Tesla's share price and market capitalization, which comprise the largest portion of Musk's publicly trackable wealth
- Changes to Musk's equity stakes in Tesla, X, or SpaceX through transfers, sales, or dilution events
- Movements in tech sector valuations and broader market conditions affecting stock multiples
- Resolution methodology: whether net worth is assessed via Bloomberg, Forbes, or another standard data source on the deadline date
- Regulatory or legal developments affecting Tesla operations or Musk's ability to hold equity stakes

Contracts:
- Will Elon Musk be a trillionaire before 2029?: Before 2029 — 97¢ Kalshi $197 (weight 1%)
- Will Elon Musk be a trillionaire before 2027?: Before 2027 — 96¢ Kalshi $32K (weight 99%)

## Methodology

SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question. For binary topics the headline is the liquidity-weighted mid-price (weight = log(1 + 24h volume) × freshness, where freshness is 1.0 if updated <24h, 0.7 if <7d, 0.4 otherwise). For multi-outcome (winner-take-all) topics the headline is the current leader's price — disjoint outcomes are never arithmetically averaged. Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours.
