This market will resolve to β€œYes” if Elon Musk is officially nominated or appointed to a U.S. Cabinet position by June 30, 23:59 PST, 2025, as confirmed by a credible and verifiable source, such as an official government announcement or a major news outlet.

It is not necessary for Musk to accept or serve in the position; the nomination or appointment alone is sufficient for a β€œYes” resolution. If no such nomination or appointment is made by the deadline, the market will resolve to β€œNo.”

Are people interpreting very differently then me?

Cabinet position means something specific, and DOGE isn't a cabinet department, announcment even refers to it as "outside the government"

bought αΉ€500 NO

Calling it now: It's going to be either Special Advisor to the President or Special Envoy of the President

Will the designation of Elon Musk as an "acting" or "performing the duties of" Cabinet officer (see https://ourpublicservice.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/The-Replacements-1.pdf) resolve this market to YES?

@octothorpe I think not. That seems distinct from the resolution criteria, which points at an unambiguous thing: "officially nominated or appointed to a U.S. Cabinet position"

That being said, Musk will not be in the Cabinet.

Trump said: β€œHe doesn’t want to be in the Cabinet, he just wants to be in charge of cost-cutting. We’ll have a new position, secretary of cost-cutting, Elon wants to do that.”

@WilliamKiely does being secretary of that count as the cabinet though?
