Elon Musk Faces Criticism Following Supreme Court Loss in Wisconsin

In a significant political upset, Wisconsin voters elected liberal justice Susan Crawford to the state Supreme Court, defeating Elon Musk-backed candidate Brad Schimel by over 200,000 votes, despite Musk's $20 million investment in the race. MSNBC's Joe Scarborough celebrated Musk's loss, highlighting the stakes Musk had claimed were tied to the election's outcome. Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries criticized Musk's attempts to influence the election, branding him an 'unelected, unpopular, unhinged and unAmerican billionaire puppet-master.' In related news, late-night host Seth Meyers criticized Musk for his reaction to the decline in Tesla's stock, arguing it was hypocritical given Musk's role in cutting government programs affecting millions. Meyers remarked that Musk cannot expect sympathy when he is actively dismantling vital services, framing the situation as a reversal for the dismissive rhetoric often associated with Musk. This combination of electoral defeat and corporate struggles illustrates Musk's waning influence amid growing public scrutiny.
