Wisconsin Supreme Court decides on attempt to stop Elon Musk’s $1M payments to voters
The Wisconsin Supreme Court recently made a unanimous decision to not hear a last-minute attempt by the state attorney general to prevent Elon Musk from giving away million-dollar checks on Sunday. This news came just before the Tesla CEO was set to host an America PAC town hall in Green Bay, where he planned to hand over $1 million checks to two voters.
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul had requested the court to reach a decision quickly, stating that Wisconsin law prohibits offering anything of value to induce anyone to vote, which Musk allegedly did.
In response, Musk’s attorneys argued that the payments were intended to generate a grassroots movement in opposition to activist judges, rather than to advocate for or against any particular candidate.
