Elon Musk Offers $100 to Wisconsin Voters for Petition Signatures

Elon Musk's America PAC is offering Wisconsin voters $100 to sign a petition opposing 'activist judges' just ahead of the state's Supreme Court election on April 1. This campaign is viewed by critics as an attempt to influence the election in favor of conservative candidate Brad Schimel, with accusations that Musk is effectively trying to buy votes. The initiative follows Musk's previous controversial tactics, including a $1 million daily incentive for voters during last year's election cycle. Legal experts have raised concerns about the legality of such cash incentives, which could violate federal election laws against paying individuals for voter registration. Additionally, Musk's actions coincide with heightened tensions between the executive branch and the judiciary, as both he and former President Trump have criticized judges who oppose their policies. The campaigns funded by Musk have reportedly spent over $13 million to support Schimel's candidacy.
