Musk's Controversial Role in Wisconsin Court Election

News summary

Elon Musk's involvement in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election has stirred controversy as he offers $1 million to two petition signers opposing 'activist judges'. Musk's actions, including a political rally and cash incentives, are perceived by some as an attempt to influence the election in favor of conservative candidate Brad Schimel. This has prompted Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul to consider legal action, citing potential violations of state election bribery laws. The race, which could shift the court's ideological balance, has become the most expensive state judicial election in U.S. history. Musk's America PAC has also been criticized for offering $100 incentives to petition signers, adding to the legal scrutiny. Meanwhile, the election has attracted national attention with endorsements from figures like Donald Trump for Schimel and Barack Obama for his opponent, Susan Crawford.
