The quote aims to further underscore Nate’s irrelevancy.

Whatever small respect I had for Nate Silver evaporated when he started working for Polymarkets, a prediction market that is owned in part by Peter Thiel. Simply put, I don’t approve of Mr Silver’s bedfellows.

Perhaps I am overly cynical, but I wouldn’t put it past Nate Silver to have placed a major bet on the presidential election, and to use his own widely-distributed predictions to influence the odds.
