Elon Musk's Cash Giveaways Dominate Wisconsin Supreme Court Election Day

The billionaire's financial tactics and support for a conservative candidate have drawn sharp criticism and legal scrutiny as voters decide the court's ideological majority.

Elon Musk distributed $1 million checks to two individuals in Wisconsin, alongside $100 payments for signing petitions against 'activist judges.'
The Wisconsin Supreme Court election, held today, will determine the ideological balance of the court, impacting abortion rights and redistricting.
Musk has spent over $20 million through his America PAC to support conservative candidate Brad Schimel against liberal candidate Susan Crawford.
Legal challenges to Musk’s financial incentives were dismissed by Wisconsin courts, allowing the giveaways to proceed.
Critics argue Musk’s actions represent vote-buying and highlight conflicts of interest tied to Tesla's legal disputes in the state.
