Polymarket's official Twitter frequently spreads "fake news," causing controversy, and Jeff Bezos personally debunks it

The prediction market platform Polymarket has faced widespread criticism in the crypto and media circles for posting false information on its official X account. Investor DCinvestor stated that he has unfollowed Polymarket's official account, not because of the product itself, but due to its frequent posting of a large amount of false information presented in the form of "breaking news," which seriously misleads users.

Media personality Rachel Karten also pointed out that the Polymarket official account "often publishes completely fabricated news," a phenomenon that is "very strange."

One of the focal points of the controversy is a tweet labeled "JUST IN," in which Polymarket claimed that Jeff Bezos suggested that Generation Z entrepreneurs should first work at real-world companies like McDonald's or Palantir before considering entrepreneurship. Subsequently, Jeff Bezos himself directly replied to deny this, stating: "No. I'm not sure why Polymarket would make this up."

The incident has raised questions about the credibility of information from Polymarket and its content moderation mechanisms. In the context of the growing influence of prediction markets, the behavior of the official account posting false information is seen as potentially misleading to user decisions and market sentiment.
