Elon Musk’s social media site X has named Polymarket as its “official prediction market partner” less than three weeks after Kalshi announced a deal with the platform — then issued a retraction.
In a brief post, the official X account said, “We’re joining forces with Polymarket as our official prediction market partner.”
No other details, such as how the two businesses would work together, were immediately provided.
It did not specifically mention whether the deal was exclusive, which would prevent a later deal with a rival prediction market like Kalshi while it is active. However, use of the phrase “our prediction market partner” rather than one like “our first prediction market partner” suggests the deal is likely to be exclusive.
