Elon Musk is making waves in Wisconsin, handing out $1 million checks to voters ahead of the state’s crucial Supreme Court election. His controversial move comes after the court refused to block the giveaways, despite legal challenges from Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul.
Musk, alongside Donald Trump, is backing conservative candidate Judge Brad Schimel in the high-stakes race against liberal-supported Judge Susan Crawford. The billionaire claims his cash prizes support grassroots opposition to “activist judges,” while critics argue they violate election laws.
Despite Kaul’s attempt to stop the giveaways, courts ruled in Musk’s favor, citing First Amendment protections. The election, set for Tuesday, could impact key issues like abortion rights and redistricting. With over $81 million spent, it’s now the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history.
This isn’t Musk’s first political giveaway… last year, he offered $1 million daily to voters signing a petition for First and Second Amendment rights. As Wisconsin voters head to the polls, Musk’s influence looms large over the outcome.
