Elon Musk Faces Scrutiny Over $2 Million Giveaway in Wisconsin Supreme Court Race

The billionaire's financial involvement and voter incentives have intensified legal and ethical debates as the April 1 election approaches.

Elon Musk announced plans to distribute $2 million to two voters during a Sunday event in Wisconsin, limited to those who have already voted in the state Supreme Court election.
Critics argue Musk's monetary incentives, including $100 payments for signing petitions, may violate Wisconsin election laws prohibiting giving items of value to influence voting.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court race, which will decide the ideological balance of the court, has become the most expensive judicial election in U.S. history, with over $81 million spent so far.
Musk's involvement is linked to Tesla's lawsuit against Wisconsin over dealership restrictions, a case that could potentially come before the court.
Polling shows a tight race between conservative candidate Brad Schimel and liberal candidate Susan Crawford, with both campaigns ramping up efforts in the final days before the election.
