Democratic candidate Susan Crawford criticized Elon Musk’s involvement in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, accusing him of trying to buy a seat on the court. Musk’s political action committee has spent $1 million on the race, supporting Republican candidate Brad Schimel, who is a Trump supporter. The outcome of the April 1 election will determine whether the court retains its liberal majority and will have implications for high-stakes cases pending before the court. Crawford argued that Musk’s involvement is an attempt to advance Trump’s agenda at the state level. Schimel’s campaign welcomed Musk’s support and criticized Crawford for receiving backing from Democratic megadonors like George Soros. Crawford emphasized her nonpartisan support from judges and justices and claimed she has not made promises to donors like Schimel has. The race is seen as a test for both Republicans and Democrats following Trump’s victory in Wisconsin. Critics worry that Musk’s close ties to Trump could influence the court’s decisions. Voter turnout on April 1 will be crucial in determining the direction of the court and its impact on important issues like abortion, union rights, and election law.
