Tech billionaire Elon Musk, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, is offering a cash giveaway to Wisconsin voters who sign a petition against “activist judges” before a crucial election for the state’s supreme court. The petition, which urges judges to interpret laws as written and not rewrite them, is part of a campaign by the pro-Trump political action committee America PAC. The committee, largely funded by Musk, is supporting conservative candidate Brad Schimel in the upcoming election. The move comes as Trump faces legal challenges to his agenda, with judges across the country blocking efforts to overhaul the government. The Justice Department has previously warned Musk and America PAC that their sweepstakes for petition signatories could violate federal law. Meanwhile, Musk’s electric car company Tesla is involved in a lawsuit against the state of Wisconsin, leading to speculation that the billionaire is trying to secure a favorable ruling by supporting a conservative candidate for the supreme court. The election pits Schimel, supported by Republicans and Musk, against Susan Crawford, backed by Democrats. Crawford’s campaign alleges that Musk is trying to buy a seat on the court to advance his own interests.
