Insane Prizes Up for Grabs!
Perfection is an impossible goal here…
We know the NCAAB news is dominated by March Madness right now, but there’s an important piece of information you or someone you know needs to hear: You’re not going to create the best bracket for March Madness in history by nailing every game.
Elon Musk is taking #MarchMadness to new heights. 🚀
The #XBracketChallenge could land you a trip to Mars or a $250K payout.

No matter how much research you’ve done and how well you think you know how to bet on March Madness, perfection is an impossible goal here.
How do we know this? The richest man on the planet, Elon Musk, is willing to send you to another planet for free if you defy all the human odds and create the perfect bracket.
Seriously.

Elon’s Offer for Perfect Bracket
Elon Musk’s X Bracket Challenge is offering a lucky winner a free trip to Mars via his SpaceX Starship vehicle. If you don’t want to die in space and have Timothée Chalamet play you in a movie, then you can accept $250,000, one free year of Starlink service, one day of SpaceX astronaut training, the ability to send a personal item into space, and VIP viewing of a Starship launch.
When there is inevitably no perfect bracket, the person who comes the closest wins $100,000, which isn’t bad. But I think Elon is totally underselling this. If I beat the odds for a perfect bracket, which are 1 in 9.22 quintillion, then I should get access to his bank account as that would be the most impressive prediction power in the history of mankind.
🚀 Elon Musk says you can go to Mars… if you have a PERFECT March Madness bracket. 🏀👀 So basically, the odds are about the same as winning the lottery while getting struck by lightning. 🌩️😂

It’s not like I’m going to spend billions. I watched Anora this week. It only costs about $20,000 per week to party with an exotic girlfriend while you do no work and enjoy March Madness highlights.
What good is $250,000 for the greatest prediction ever? In fact, let’s say you did have the right pick for all 63 games in the tournament. If you took $100 and bet on March Madness for Thursday’s 16-game slate and rolled those winnings over through the rest of the tournament with a parlay for each day, you would likely win so much money (if you found books crazy enough to accept your bets) that you would be the richest person in the world instead of Musk.
Come on, Elon. Plenty of us can do the math.
Other Offers
The other famous billionaire, Warren Buffet, is also offering $1 million for a perfect bracket. He once offered $1 billion in 2014, but I’m not sure why he’s going cheapskate on us at 95 years old. To his credit, he has agreed to let someone win $1 million if they get 30 of the 32 games on Thursday and Friday correct.
Not to be outdone, Jesse’s Burgers & Shakes in Texas is offering free burgers for life for a perfect bracket. That must be a tasty burger, but I bet they charge more than $5 for a shake that’s just milk and ice cream, and why can’t I get a free beverage to wash down that tasty burger? I smell rip-off.
Enter the contests if you want but never expect perfection. Just enjoy the games, keep an eye on your March Madness futures bets, and if you somehow go 63-0, I hope you had the parlays to match, and Elon lets you take Mikey Madison to Mars.
