Billionaire Elon Musk’s efforts to support the conservative candidate in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race faced legal challenges after he announced plans to give $1 million checks to voters who had already cast their ballots. The announcement drew accusations of election law violations, prompting Musk to revise his offer. Legal experts raised concerns about the legality of the initial offer, prompting the Wisconsin attorney general to seek an injunction to stop the payments. Musk’s political action committee had used similar tactics in the past, raising questions about his involvement in influencing elections.
The race between conservative Brad Schimel and liberal Susan Crawford has become the most expensive judicial election in U.S. history, with over $81 million spent so far. The outcome will determine control of the court and could impact national issues like abortion rights and voting rules. Trump has endorsed Schimel, urging voters to turn out in the off-year election. Musk’s involvement in the race, coupled with his lawsuit against Wisconsin over opening dealerships, has raised concerns about outside influence in state politics. Regardless of the outcome, Musk’s unprecedented spending in the race has drawn criticism and scrutiny. The Wisconsin Supreme Court’s upcoming rulings on national issues make the election a focal point for political watchers.
