This market will resolve to "Yes" if Donald Trump officially nominates or appoints Elon Musk to his administration between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". The Trump administration includes individuals formally appointed or nominated by Donald Trump to roles within the U.S. federal government, such as Cabinet members, Executive Office staff, senior policy advisors, ambassadors, or White House staff whose appointments are publicly announced by official government channels. Nominations will qualify even if the individual is not confirmed. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the US government; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used. Trader consensus on Polymarket heavily favors "No" at 86% implied probability for Elon Musk rejoining the Trump Administration in 2026, driven by his recent confirmation of a strict 130-day limit as a Special Government Employee leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), set to expire around May 2025. President-elect Trump's public statements, including in a New York Times interview, emphasize Musk's return to his companies—Tesla amid sliding deliveries and robotaxi delays, SpaceX's Starship milestones, and xAI's Grok large language model advancements—highlighting irreconcilable time demands and potential conflicts from government contracts. Absent official announcements of extended roles, traders see minimal catalysts for a 2026 reprise amid Musk's packed tech empire agenda.
