# Elon Musk posts, October 3–5: count the right activity A short window is particularly sensitive to a single burst of posts. The verified counter and remaining hours are more useful than an impression that the account seems busy. Canonical article: https://www.homeincomelab.com/stories/elon-musk-of-tweets-october-3-october-5-2026 Publisher: The Outlook By: [The Outlook editorial desk](https://www.homeincomelab.com/editorial) Category: Culture Analysis as of: 2026-10-04T10:22:03.640158Z Decision guide market prices observed: 2026-10-04T09:57:48.323Z Published: 2026-10-04T10:19:01.902099Z ## Quick answer The rules count main-feed posts, reposts and quote posts. Ordinary replies are excluded except when captured in the main feed under the tracker’s rules; deleted posts can count if the tracker recorded them. [2](https://polymarket.com/event/elon-musk-of-tweets-october-3-october-5-2026/elon-musk-of-tweets-october-3-october-5-2026-40-64) ## Key takeaways - Check the linked Xtracker Post Counter, its window and captured posts. Compute the additional posts needed for each bracket using that observed count; this article does not invent a live counter reading. - A raw activity feed can include replies excluded from the market. A deleted post may still count, and a constant-rate extrapolation can miss a concentrated burst. - The exact window runs from October 3, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern through October 5, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern. Count only posts included under the designated tracker’s rules.

The verified counter and remaining hours are more useful than an impression that the account seems busy. The rules count main-feed posts, reposts and quote posts. Ordinary replies are excluded except when captured in the main feed under the tracker’s rules; deleted posts can count if the tracker recorded them. [2](https://polymarket.com/event/elon-musk-of-tweets-october-3-october-5-2026/elon-musk-of-tweets-october-3-october-5-2026-40-64) ## What the current price does—and does not—show The API snapshot on October 4, 2026 priced Yes at 71% for “Will Elon Musk post 40-64 tweets from October 3 to October 5, 2026?”. The parent event had $184,177 in cumulative volume. That volume includes trading across the event; it is not a count of distinct people and does not establish the probability of this one contract. [1](https://polymarket.com/event/elon-musk-of-tweets-october-3-october-5-2026)[2](https://polymarket.com/event/elon-musk-of-tweets-october-3-october-5-2026/elon-musk-of-tweets-october-3-october-5-2026-40-64) Check the linked Xtracker Post Counter, its window and captured posts. Compute the additional posts needed for each bracket using that observed count; this article does not invent a live counter reading. Another open contract in the same event, “Will Elon Musk post 65-89 tweets from October 3 to October 5, 2026?”, was quoted at 23.5% for Yes. Check whether these conditions are mutually exclusive before comparing or combining their prices.

A deleted post may still count, and a constant-rate extrapolation can miss a concentrated burst. The exact window runs from October 3, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern through October 5, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern. Count only posts included under the designated tracker’s rules. [2](https://polymarket.com/event/elon-musk-of-tweets-october-3-october-5-2026/elon-musk-of-tweets-october-3-october-5-2026-40-64) ## The evidence that would change the reading Check the linked Xtracker Post Counter, its window and captured posts. Compute the additional posts needed for each bracket using that observed count; this article does not invent a live counter reading. The useful question is whether the available evidence meets this test: The rules count main-feed posts, reposts and quote posts. Ordinary replies are excluded except when captured in the main feed under the tracker’s rules; deleted posts can count if the tracker recorded them. A confident story without that connection leaves the central condition unproved.
