On the crypto-based prediction hub Polymarket, some of the automaker's diehards can't accept that they're about to lose a boatload of money after betting that their hero Elon Musk would launch a public robotaxi service in June. Which he didn't, by the way; the trial is limited to a few people with an invite, and beyond that, the most notable thing it's accomplished was earn the attention of federal regulators for flubs like violating traffic
