USA 2024 US Presidential Election: Trump vs Harris (pt II)

[iDon]

Current Market still has Trump as favorite.

Trump was $1.50 now $1.70
Harris was $2.50 now $2.10

nothing free fall about it. Just market tightening up to reflect the polling which shows a very tight election.

Likely election will come down to 4-6 states at most. Which over the last 2 weeks have shown minor swings between Harris and Trump.

Do you know how much money would have had to have come for Harris to shift from $2.70 to $2.10?

And I am not talking the $10 interest bets. It will be the large position people in Trump locking up profit, which is very savvy.

Also, betting markets are a load of horseshit in a political race with so many variables as the US election.

Elon slashed 65% of Twitter employees with almost no negative effect on the operation of the company. My hope is a Trump wins and Elon achieves half of that success with the US public service. That sort of success would have to gain political traction over here.

yeah, but look at the polling

getting Harris at $2.50+ is absolutely epic value as it stands

The polls are showing this election is as tight as anything. getting almost 3 for 1 on Harris is crazy value. Thats why it has dropped so much in the last day or two.

Clinton was like a $1.20 favourite in 2016.

Betting odds mean absolutely nothing.

Haha, have you used twitter?

Tbf if you’re pretty far right politically then Twitter would seem great these days.

This is straight up nonsense. The platform has lost all advertisers, has fewer users, crashes regularly, both the iPhone and Android apps now are notoriously bad, the trust in the platform has been eroded... etc etc.

This notion that Twitter is better today than it was before Elon purchased it cannot be backed up with a single quantifiable metric.

He’s very much part of the nazis and pr0n crowd the site is currently aimed at.

the odds themselves dont mean much to the outcome but if the polling is showing an incredibly tight election and one of the participants is almost paying 3 to 1, from a value standpoint it is great, or at least was great before Harris dropped into $2.10

Think $2.10 for Harris is still great betting value.

$2.50? She was out at $2.70 at the start of last week.

$2.50? She was out at $2.70 at the start of last week.

she was $2.50 a couple of days ago - you will get small variances between agencies though

trump moving out by 20c is not free fall though, Moreso just incredible value for Harris at those numbers.

General polling is showing Trump +1. Getting Harris at those odds with this tight of an election is value all day.

Yeah, except for small factors such as revenue, users etc.

What America needs MORE of is to be run like a corporation for the benefit of the executive and investor classes...

Can't understand why people simp for elites.

 

[Millky95]

**** gambling. Honestly. Can't even have poltical discourse without it being infected

 

[Millky95]

Can't understand why people simp for elites.

Because they hope one day that'll be them even though the system is designed to keep them down for as long as possible

Elon also sends rockets to space for 1/10th of the cost than NASA, internet coverage in outback Australia for a fraction of the NBN. Don't you want to see him do that to govt?

I look forward to the day Pete runs for president

if you were someone whose opinion was always "censored" by mods (for fiddly things like misinformation, race baiting, hate speech) you might say the reduction in moderation is an "improvement"

I suspect he's in line for a promotion under a Harris presidency.

Currently the Secretary of Transportation in Biden's cabinet, I could see him getting Secretary of the Interior or Secretary of Commerce in Harris' cabinet.

He bought twitter with the Saudis and Diddy. He’s run it into the ground and he might end up like Kashoggi if the ROI from a trump presidency doesn’t eventuate

Gotta feeling this is gonna be a walkover.

 

[Maggie5]

hes not saying shoot the press, hes more saying he doesn't mind if the press get shot. So its indifference rather than hate...

Doesn't really clean it up much given all his past comments on the media and 'fake news'.

No matter how much anyone wants to 'clean' it up.

I hear, "I am behind bullet proof glass and to get to me the press get shot first which I don't mind".

Same old, same old, violent rhetoric. No excuse or dry cleaning.

Dont think anyone is arguing it isn't violent rhetoric.......

 

[bourbons]

At this point, she really needs to have a think about the campaign finances and whether she can bring Beyonce to every rally

Sure, a "Kamala" rally.

You guys

I didn't reply to your post, I have learned.

I am just over the 'clean up' anytime Trump pushes hate and divisiveness.

Elon Musk is not the topic for this thread.

Here you go:

Society/Culture - Elon Musk - Takeover of Twitter?

Elon buys 10% of Twitter then offers to buy the whole bowl of wax for $43B, placing the board in a difficult position as they are legally obliged to act in the interests of shareholders. Saudi prince rejects offer...
