Bettors Profit from Wagers Against Elon Musk

Some people are making a lot of money by betting that Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, won't be able to do everything he says he will.

They use special websites to bet on things like whether Musk will start a new political party or launch a new type of car.

One person, David Bensoussan, has made over $36,000 just by betting against Musk.

Musk himself seems to find this funny and talks about it on his social media.

Experts say these betting websites help keep people honest about their big promises.
