Moderate risk exists. The market relies on a third-party tracker (xtracker) rather than native X data. The main trap is the definition of 'replies': standard replies are excluded, but main-feed replies count. Deleted posts must survive for ~5 minutes to be captured. Traders relying on manual observation may face discrepancies.

Highly exotic. The general public rarely cares about or predicts the exact number of tweets a specific person (even Elon Musk) posts in a given week. This is a classic novelty/degen bet catering to a niche crypto community.

May 9, 2026 - May 11, 2026, the price of the 120-139 option surged from 30.15c to 64.75c, while 140-159 dropped from 39.5c to 17.5c. This occurred because, as the deadline approached, Musk's tweet count stabilized significantly, boosting market confidence in the 120-139 range and forcing capital to pivot from higher frequency brackets. May 9, 2026 - May 10, 2026, the price of the 120-139 option surged from 30c to 64c, while 140-159 dropped from 41.5c to 19.5c. This occurred because, as the deadline approached, Musk's tweet count remained stable, boosting market confidence in the 120-139 range and consolidating capital. May 8, 2026 - May 10, 2026, the price of the 100-119 option surged from 3.65c to 27.45c (before dropping), and the 140-159 option plummeted from a recent high of 41.5c to 10.5c. This occurred because Musk's latest tweet volume was even lower than expected, causing the market to revise the estimated total downward, with capital quickly retreating from brackets above 140 and flowing into the lower 100-119 bracket. May 8, 2026 - May 10, 2026, the price of the 120-139 option surged from 13.2c to 60.95c, and the 160-179 option plummeted from 28.5c to 2.25c. This occurred because Musk's actual tweet volume consistently trended lower; as the expiration approached, uncertainty dropped sharply, leading capital to concentrate heavily in the core 120-139 range. May 7, 2026 - May 10, 2026, the price of the 140-159 option climbed from 21.5c to 41.5c (then dropped), the 120-139 option jumped from 9.85c to 35.25c, while the 160-179 option dropped from 23.5c to 13.5c. This occurred because Musk's actual tweet frequency remained consistently low, and with less than three days left, decreasing uncertainty drove capital to accelerate consolidation into the core 120-159 range. May 6, 2026 - May 9, 2026, the price of the 140-159 option surged from 21.5c to 39.5c, the 120-139 option jumped from 14.1c to 32.3c, and the 100-119 option rose from 6.85c to 11.2c, while the 180-199 option plummeted from 14.5c to 4.5c. This happened because Musk's actual tweet frequency remained consistently low, and decreasing uncertainty as time runs out drove market capital to consolidate into these lower-frequency core brackets, abandoning higher ones. May 5, 2026 - May 8, 2026, the price of the 140-159 option surged from 13.5c to 29.5c, and the 120-139 option jumped from 4.15c to 21.15c. This occurred because Musk's actual tweet volume over the first half of the tracking period remained consistently low, prompting the market to heavily upgrade the probability of lower frequency bands. May 5, 2026 - May 7, 2026, the price of the 140-159 option climbed from 12.5c to 25.5c, and the 120-139 option surged from 4.15c to 15.5c before settling near 13.05c; simultaneously, the 180-199 option fell from 20.5c to 15.5c. This was caused by initial tracking data showing a lower-than-expected tweet frequency, leading the market to sharply lower its target range and consolidate around lower frequencies. May 2, 2026 - May 5, 2026, the price of the 160-179 option surged from 9c to 20.5c, and the 180-199 option jumped from 9.5c to 20.5c. This is because, as time progressed, market expectations increasingly consolidated around this range, which best aligned with Musk's recent tweeting frequency.

The market rules contain notable nuances: it counts main feed posts, quote posts, and reposts, but excludes normal replies. However, replies on the main feed are counted by the tracker. Furthermore, deleted posts are counted if they remain available long enough to be captured (~5 minutes). X itself acts as a secondary source if the tracker fails. These specific definitions and potential tracker discrepancies present a moderate risk.

While betting on Elon Musk's actions is somewhat common in prediction markets, predicting the exact number of tweets he makes within a specific one-week timeframe is highly trivial and novel. Few people would naturally ponder this exact number.

May 8, 2026 - May 11, 2026, the 120-139 bucket soared from ~7.65c to 32.65c, the 100-119 bucket surged from 2.45c to 15.15c, and the 160-179 bucket dropped from 23.5c to 13.5c. This is due to real-time tracking data confirming a moderate-to-low tweet pace for Musk, leading the market to heavily upgrade the probability of the lower-mid buckets and discount higher posting volumes. May 6, 2026 - May 10, 2026, the price of the 140-159 bucket surged consistently from 13c to 34.5c before settling at 25.5c, and the 120-139 bucket rose from 4c to 29.35c. The reason is that real-time tracking data indicated Musk's posting frequency is at a moderate-to-low pace, prompting the market to heavily upgrade the probabilities of the lower-mid ranges. May 5, 2026 - May 9, 2026, the price of the 100-119 bucket plummeted from 23c to ~5.85c, the 200-219 bucket dropped from 26c to 4.5c, and the 220-239 bucket dropped from 29.5c to 2.15c. This was caused by the sharp reduction in uncertainty as time progressed, consolidating the probability mass tightly into the mid-range (120-179).

The rules have complex definitions for 'replies', where certain main feed replies are counted by the tracker. Deleted posts are also counted if captured in time. This makes manual verification unreliable, as the outcome heavily depends on the technical nuances of the designated tracker, creating significant resolution risk.

Betting on the exact range of tweets an individual will post within a specific 48-hour window is highly novel and obscure. It is a niche topic tailored for prediction market enthusiasts rather than something mainstream audiences would ever consider.

2026-05-10 21:08:17-2026-05-11 02:33:17, the '<40' option surged from 22.5c to 76.5c, while the '40-64' option fluctuated and settled at 23.5c, as dwindling remaining time and persistent low posting volume heavily reinforced the market's conviction that the final count will stay under 40. 2026-05-10 21:08:17-2026-05-10 23:48:28, the '<40' option dropped from 75.5c to 61.5c, and the '40-64' option bounced back from 22.5c to 38c, due to an increase in Musk's tweeting activity in recent hours, elevating the chance of crossing the 40-post threshold. 2026-05-10 11:28:17-2026-05-10 20:03:17, the '<40' option continued to surge from 58.5c to 72.5c, while the '40-64' option fell from 39.5c to 26.5c. This occurred because, as time dwindled, Musk failed to increase his posting pace, making the market highly confident the final count will remain under 40. 2026-05-10 03:53:17-2026-05-10 11:28:17, the '<40' option jumped from 34.5c to 58.5c, while the '40-64' option plummeted from 58.5c to 39.5c. This was driven by real-time tracker data confirming extremely low post volume into the latter half of the weekend, causing a sharp shift in market expectations. 2026-05-09 19:13:17-2026-05-10 03:53:17, the '<40' option fluctuated from 29c to 34.5c, while '40-64' slightly adjusted from 58c to 58.5c, as the market fine-tuned the probability between the lowest brackets. 2026-05-07 16:23:19-2026-05-09 18:08:17, the '<40' option surged from 7.5c to 39.5c, because the tracking period began with very low initial posting frequency, causing investors to aggressively price in a slow weekend. 2026-05-07 16:23:19-2026-05-08 17:13:19, the '40-64' option increased from 42.5c to 61.5c, as consensus formed around this standard activity range heading into the weekend. 2026-05-07 16:23:19-2026-05-09 15:58:19, the '65-89' option plunged from 34c to 8.5c, reflecting a strong shift away from expectations of higher-end posting activity.

Predicting the exact highest temperature of a specific city on a single day is not a general topic of public concern. However, weather markets are a common niche category in prediction markets, giving it moderate novelty without being extremely bizarre.
