Tech tycoon and World’s richest man, Elon Musk attended a recent Donald Trump rally leading to a surge in crypto memecoins prices and a rise in Trump’s Polymarket presidential victory odds to 54.5%.
When it comes to swing state predictions on the betting platform Polymarket, Donald Trump’s winning odds were raised to 54.5% in Pennsylvania after Elon Musk attended his rally in Butler. In his speech, Musk said, “President Trump must win to preserve the Constitution. He must win to preserve democracy in America. This is a must-win situation.” The crypto-political odds reflect growing sentiment around Trump’s campaign, intertwining politics, and cryptocurrency betting.
Today, Elon Musk even reposted the US election prediction data on Polymarket on X and said, “Trump leads Harris by 3% in the betting market. Because real money is involved in the betting market, these markets tend to be more accurate than polls.”

Additionally, Musk’s support for Trump also triggered an immediate jump of 20.75% in MAGA tokens, which is currently trading at $3.94. In fact, Musk’s favorite memecoin, DOGE too saw a surge of 4.64% after the event and is now trading at $0.1141.
To bring Trump closer to the win, the America PAC founded by Musk has announced a reward of $47 to anyone who recommends signing a petition in a swing state. The initiative intends to win over 1 million voters in swing states who support free speech and the right to bear arms.
Elon Musk- a vocal advocate for Freedom of Speech, has been openly urging for a Republican win in this election, he even criticized mainstream media for their so-called biased journalism tactics that paints Trump in a bad light, while praising Polymarket bets. Amidst the political war, Trump and Musk have garnered crypto fanboys’ support which could be a gamer changer for the Elections as well as the crypto industry.
