Betting Odds: Will a Tech Executive Be Given an O7 or Higher Commission US Army in 2025?
Last week, the U.S. Army announced that it will direct commission four technology executives at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
Shyam Sankar (CTO of Palantir), Andrew Bosworth (CTO of Meta), Kevin Weil (CPO of OpenAI) and Bob McGrew (former Chief Research Officer at OpenAI) will head a newly created Army Innovation Corps within the Reserve component.
The initiative reflects the Pentagon’s push to integrate Silicon Valley talent and accelerate technological adaptation in defense strategy, and the announcement came with mixed reaction.
BetOnline.ag has taken this political storyline and turned it into props. People can bet on certain tech moguls to be given an O7 or higher commission in 2025, and if it will happen at all.
Additionally, with Juneteenth coming up Thursday and President Donald Trump’s controversial history with the celebration, including his 2020 Tulsa rally scheduling backlash and his later claim of making the holiday "very famous," there are a few prop bets for the occasion.
