This question resolves to the TIME 2025 Person of The Year. It uses consolidated answers to avoid having to predict who the major party nominees will be, or the exact wording of any abstract/group answers.
If you would like to add a new candidate or consolidated answer to the market, submit them in a comment below. If a comment gets enough support, I'll open the market to submissions so that you can add it and you'll get the unique trader bonuses.
Note that all consolidated answers must be mutually exclusive, so no more specific or general versions of existing options. The goal is to cleanly divide the probabilistic landscape into non-overlapping categories.
If multiple options do end up being true, then those options will resolve to an even split of 100%.

@JussiVilleHeiskanen that’s at least a few years off, so not sure why you’re commenting that in a 2025 closing market
@DavidHiggs Sh*t. Well, I only lost 40 mana. Thought Ellison went over the top. Must have in my usual addleheaded way confused his company and him or something...
@JussiVilleHeiskanen as of a week ago according to Forbes, Musk was over $100 billion above Ellison, and not himself at $500 billion yet
You have all forgotten the most important rule, AGAIN:
The Person Of The Year is the person who TIME believes will sell the most magazine covers.
That was never gonna be Altman over Taylor Swift, and if any of you think a Midwestern mom at the grocery store will buy a magazine because Jensen Huang is on it... God bless you.
@TiredCliche love how his percentage in this market likely exceeds the percentage of TIME readers who have the slightest idea who tf he is
@TiredCliche > That was never gonna be Altman over Taylor Swift

You might be slightly biased though.
(Not to say that AI people aren't over-represented at Manifold)
@TiredCliche I don’t think it’s gonna be him but that’s not a very strong argument. This was in 2021

@TiredCliche How do you think they are getting some kind of tax advantage from making magazines that don't sell?
I don't get why Huang suddenly went so high. I get that Nvidia is still making more news, but why is it an order of magnitude more likely now than was forseeable in October?
