Prediction markets are now actively pricing in the Musk-Altman legal dispute. On Polymarket, odds suggest a 59% probability favoring Musk's position in the case against OpenAI.



Musk's core argument centers on contribution and contract modification. He points out that his early-stage funding and founding involvement were instrumental in building OpenAI's initial value. The subsequent pivot from nonprofit to for-profit structure, he argues, fundamentally altered the original agreement—essentially changing the terms of the deal mid-stream.

This isn't just courtroom drama; it's becoming a test case for how Web3 prediction markets assess high-stakes disputes. The shifting odds reflect market participants weighing evidence and legal arguments in real time, providing a real-time consensus layer on case outcomes.

The implications extend beyond this single dispute, touching on questions about founder contributions, organizational structure changes, and contractual obligations in tech ventures. Watching how prediction markets track this will reveal what the crowd sees as the strongest legal position.

Musk's move this time is indeed justified; switching from nonprofit to for-profit changes the game rules. Polymarket's 59% also quite effectively illustrates the point.

Haha, there are quite a few people betting on Musk winning on Polymarket... but this 59% doesn't really mean much, it's just the market betting, the court is the real authority.

59% just want to settle Elon Musk? I think it's a gamble. How come the bettors on Polymarket are so confident...

59% Can Musk win? Everyone on Polymarket must be crazy. The shift from non-profit to for-profit is indeed frustrating, but the value created by OpenAI over these years can't all be attributed to Musk.

59% odds? The arbitrage opportunity with Musk's bet is quite interesting. Polymarket has truly brought legal disputes onto the blockchain this time. Changing contract terms is indeed a ruthless move. Turning a non-profit into a profit-making entity is like changing the rules midway. In traditional courts, this would take half a year to resolve, but now the market is directly pricing it... Feels a bit like underestimating lawyers. The surf point was well chosen. The game between market sentiment and lawyer logic—that's what Web3 should look like. If this case can be overturned to over 70% upon judgment, the return rate will be very sweet.

Haha, I bet on Musk to win on Polymarket... 59% isn't high enough, changing from nonprofit to for-profit definitely has some tricks involved.
