Elon Musk's PAC Offers $100 to Wisconsin Voters in Supreme Court Election Push
The cash-for-signature initiative targets 'activist judges' and collects voter data ahead of the pivotal April 1 election, drawing legal and ethical scrutiny.
- Musk's America PAC is offering $100 to Wisconsin voters who sign a petition opposing 'activist judges' and an additional $100 for referrals.
- The initiative aligns with Musk's broader support for Trump administration priorities and mirrors similar tactics used in the 2024 presidential election.
- The Wisconsin Supreme Court race will determine the court's ideological balance, with significant implications for abortion rights, election laws, and redistricting.
- Critics, including Susan Crawford's campaign, accuse Musk of attempting to 'buy' the election to secure favorable rulings for his business interests, including a Tesla lawsuit against the state.
- Legal experts are divided on the legality of the cash-for-signature scheme, which also collects voter data for future political outreach.
