Elon Musk to give talk in Wisconsin ahead of state Supreme Court contest

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk announced that he will be speaking to voters in Wisconsin this weekend ahead of the state’s highly anticipated Supreme Court election. Musk took to his social media platform X to share the news, stating that the event will be limited to those who have already voted in the election.

In a generous gesture, Musk revealed that he will personally hand over two checks for a million dollars each to show appreciation for those who took the time to vote. He emphasized the importance of voter participation in this critical election.

Musk made headlines earlier in the week when he awarded a Green Bay man $1 million for signing a petition from America PAC, which is funded by Musk, against “activist judges in Wisconsin.” The billionaire entrepreneur also teased that another million-dollar award would be announced soon.

This move is reminiscent of a lottery that Musk’s political action committee ran last year in Wisconsin and other battleground states leading up to the November election. America PAC had previously announced that they were offering $100 to voters who signed their petition, but the million-dollar prizes came as a surprise.

The upcoming Supreme Court election in Wisconsin is crucial, as it will determine whether the court remains under 4-3 liberal control or shifts to a conservative majority. The race has become a proxy battle over national politics, with Trump supporters rallying behind the Republican candidate, Brad Schimel.

Schimel’s opponent, Susan Crawford, has criticized Musk’s $1 million payment, calling it an illegal attempt to buy influence on the court. Tesla, Musk’s electric car company, has a lawsuit pending in Wisconsin that could potentially be brought before the court, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest.

As the election draws near, tensions are high and the stakes are even higher. Musk’s involvement in the race has added another layer of intrigue to an already closely watched contest. Stay tuned for more updates as the election unfolds.
