Elon Musk Jokes About ‘Election-Interfering Space Lasers’ as Polymarket Whale Scores on Texas

A Polymarket user who goes by the name Domer made about $62,700 betting against a Republican win in Texas’ Senate race and mocked the roughly $250 million that Elon Musk-backed groups spent trying to keep the seat Republican, calling it the stupidest thing anyone could do. Musk, posting separately, joked that his “election-interfering space lasers” had failed. A Polymarket account trading as ImJustKen, which is linked to the X account of well-known political bettor Domer, made $62,715 when Polymarket’s Texas Senate market resolved against the Republicans, according to the platform’s data. The account bought 249,215 “No” shares on a Republican win at an average of 74.6 cents, about $185,900 in all, starting Nov. 2. Polymarket resolved the market at 07:11 UTC on Wednesday, Nov.
