Polymarket's official account frequently posts "fake news," sparking controversy; Jeff Bezos personally refutes the rumors.
On January 23, prediction market platform Polymarket was widely questioned in the crypto and media circles for posting false information on its official X account. Investor DCinvestor posted that they unfollowed Polymarket’s official account, not because of the product itself, but due to its frequent posting of大量虚假信息, presented as “breaking news,” which seriously misleads users. Media personality Rachel Karten also pointed out that Polymarket’s official account “often posts completely fabricated news,” and this phenomenon is “very strange.” One of the controversial points is a tweet labeled “JUST IN,” where Polymarket claimed that Jeff Bezos suggested Generation Z entrepreneurs should first work at real-world companies like McDonald’s or Palantir before considering starting their own businesses. Subsequently, Jeff Bezos himself directly responded to deny this, stating: “That’s not right. I am not sure why Polymarket would make up this story.” The incident has sparked doubts about the credibility of Polymarket’s information and its content review mechanisms. Against the backdrop of the increasing influence of prediction markets, the behavior of the official account posting false information is considered to potentially mislead user decisions and market sentiment.
