Elon Musk recently hosted a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, to support conservative candidate Brad Schimel in the upcoming state Supreme Court election. During the event, Musk gave out $1 million checks to two voters who had signed an America PAC petition opposing partisan judicial policies. He described the election as crucial, saying it could impact the “entire destiny of humanity.”
Musk’s involvement has led to legal disputes. Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul attempted to block Musk’s financial giveaways, arguing they violated state election laws. However, the Wisconsin Supreme Court declined to intervene, allowing Musk’s actions to continue.
Critics argue Musk’s influence could shape the court’s stance on major issues, including redistricting, which affects control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Despite backlash, Musk defended his actions as free speech and an effort to support fair judicial appointments.
With over $81 million spent, this has become the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history. The court’s future rulings on key issues like abortion and voting laws highlight the election’s national significance. Musk’s involvement has sparked both support and protests, reflecting deep political divisions.
