Easiest Money Ever: Bet Against Elon!

from Bulwark Takes · host The Bulwark

Sam Stein, Sonny Bunch, and Ben Parker give their takes on a Wall Street Journal story about a DC tax policy expert who made nearly $500,000 betting that Elon Musk wouldn’t actually cut federal spending, a wager that turned out to be almost free money. They break down how the bet worked, why it was such a lock, how political betting markets create openings for insider trading, and just how absurd some of these political wagers have become.Get 30% off your order with Soul at https://GetSoul.com with promo code BULWARKTAKES.
