Jeff Bezos is the favourite to be the first celebrity pilot of Archax
Tsubame Industries, a Tokyo-based startup, have unveiled their new pilotable robot 'Archax' earlier this month with bookies offering odds on the first celebrity pilot of the robot.
There are reportedly five units for the pilotable robot up for grabs and nothing screams billionaire celebrity more than buying one of these controlable machines.
Amazon founder and executive chairman Jeff Bezos is the clear favourite in the betting to be the first celebrity that pilots one of these Archax machines.
With a reported net worth of more than $150b it wouldn't come as a massive shock to anyone if Bezos became the first celebrity pilot of Archax.
| Archax First Celebrity Pilot | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Jeff Bezos | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Elon Musk | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Bill Gates | 7/1 | 12.5% |
What the expert says...
Elon Musk just behind Bezos in the betting market
Elon Musk sits just behind Bezos in the betting odds to be the first celebrity pilot of Archax and it seems like something that would be right up his street.
Musk has been known for being a big player in technology with his Tesla company massive in the manufacturing of electric vehicles.
His 'Boring Company' have brought out wild electrical products in the past including 20,000 flamethrowers and he could well be a pilot of one of these Archax machines.
Musk leads the way in the betting odds to be the Time Person of the Year
Musk also features in the betting market for the Time Person of the Year award with the latest odds putting him as the evens favourite to be crowned it.
Musk has been awarded Time Person of the Year once before back in 2021 after a big business year for him and he could well get it once more two years on.
Paddy Power expect him to win the award once again this year with the latest betting odds suggesting an implied probability of 50% that he is voted Person of the Year again.
| Time Person of the Year 2023 | Odds | Probability |

| Elon Musk | 1/1 | 50.0% |
| Volodymyr Zelenskyy | 7/4 | 36.4% |
| Sam Altman | 15/8 | 34.8% |
