Elon Musk Deletes Post About $2M Giveaway in Wisconsin Supreme Court Race

The billionaire's legal and ethical scrutiny intensifies as his financial involvement in the pivotal judicial election reaches unprecedented levels.

Elon Musk deleted a post on his social media platform X about plans to personally hand out $2 million to Wisconsin voters, leading to confusion about his intentions.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court race will determine whether the court flips from a 4-3 liberal majority to conservative control, with implications for abortion rights, redistricting, and voting laws.
Musk has contributed nearly $20 million to support conservative candidate Brad Schimel, making it the most expensive judicial election in U.S. history, with over $81 million spent overall.
Critics, including legal experts, argue Musk's voter incentives, including $100 payments and $1 million awards, may violate election laws prohibiting inducements for voting.
The race has drawn national attention as a referendum on President Trump's administration, with Musk’s involvement tied to Tesla’s lawsuit against Wisconsin over dealership laws.
