ALT Two bar charts side by side, arranged vertically, that visualize the contracts bought on Polymarket on the outcome of the election: left for Harris bets and right for Trump bets. The bets are color-coded by top 10 bettors since Sept. 1 in honey, next 200 largest in light yellow and gray for the remaining 101,600 bettors. Market makers that make small frequent bets are marked in light gray. The total of bets are fairly similar, with occasional peaks: two honey users make 54% of bets after Harris–Trump debate on Sept. 12. Bets surge on October 3 and after. The honey colored bars are larger on the Trump side, including exclusively on Trump’s side between October 14 and October 21, with a note saying that whales spend $12M in four days on October 10, and big users make nearly 40% of Trump bets on October 17. A needle visualization is shown on the right margin, noting Trump odds: 50.8% on September 6, down a bit to the end of the month (bottom at 47.4%), but significantly up in October.

ALT An earth globe on a black background with country boundaries drawn with light pink outline, where small triangle shapes are drawn on major cities, representing the location and numbers of posts made there about remigration (as found by where their IP originated from).

A note on Europe says: “607K Social media posts from German IP addresses — the majority of which were posted during January and February 2024”. Another note on the US says “255K Social media posts from US IP addresses — the majority of which were posted in the past month.”
