Resolved
YES

At approximately market close, I will visit the following page in an Incognito window: twitter.com/elonmusk/

If that redirects to a login page (or full screen pop-up) the market resolves YES. Otherwise it resolves NO.

If others are able to check at the exact close time and provide screenshots I will accept that as proof unless there's reason to believe it's fraudulent. Otherwise it will be based on whenever I check, even if that turns out to be a bit later than the exact close (could be up to 48 hours).

Any changes to the login wall between now and close don't matter, just the end state at close time as described above. It doesn't matter whether the login page can be bypassed/dismissed.

Still there 9 minutes before close!

To clarify on "Fullscreen pop-up" -- any kind of modal pop-up that prevents interacting with the page content will count. If it's just a small pop-up on the side that can be ignored it won't count.

predicted NO

“Log-in page or full screen pop up” is a hugely aggressive move that’s likely net value-destructive. None of the other social platforms do this, thus I expect Elon to stumble upon a similar optimal point.

bought Ṁ10 of NO

With Elon saying it's a temporary emergency measure, I'm guessing they'll be able to find a workaround in a week's time.

@TychonNotos That link now shows me "Something went wrong. Try reloading." I love the irony.
