Wisconsin AG seeks court order to block Musk's $2 million election giveaway

Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk over his proposal to give away $2 million to individuals at an event in support of the state's upcoming Supreme Court election. Musk initially announced plans to award $1 million each to two voters, which was quickly labeled a violation of state law prohibiting payment for votes. After backlash, he deleted that post and clarified that the money would go to 'spokesmen' for a petition against 'activist judges.' Despite this clarification, Kaul's office intends to seek a court order to prevent the distribution, emphasizing the need for fair elections in Wisconsin. The Supreme Court race, which features Republican candidate Brad Schimel and Democrat Susan Crawford, is critical in determining the court's ideological balance. Musk's involvement has sparked controversy, with opponents accusing him of attempting to influence the election through financial incentives.
