Musk gives millions to Wisconsin voters to support his Supreme Court candidate.

Elon Musk has applied the same tactic to Tuesday's Wisconsin Supreme Court elections that he used with Donald Trump's election campaign: giving huge sums to conservative Justice Brad Schimel, holding rallies in his favor, and handing out giant checks to voters. At an event he held on Sunday in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Musk handed out $1 million checks to two voters and promised the rest of the attendees that he would pay them $20 for each voter they recruited before Tuesday, April 1. A Democratic lawyer in the state has already filed a lawsuit for possible violation of election law. Musk has invested millions in this race because it could determine the future of the narrow Republican majority in Congress ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
