Wisconsin AG Sues Musk Over $2M Giveaway Ahead of Election

Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul has filed a lawsuit seeking to prevent Elon Musk from giving away $2 million to two voters at an event ahead of the state's Supreme Court election on April 1. Kaul described Musk's offer as an 'egregious attempt to buy votes' and alleged that it violates state election laws. Musk initially announced the cash giveaway on X, later clarifying that the money was intended for two individuals who would act as spokesmen for a petition opposing 'activist judges.' The lawsuit reflects concerns that such financial incentives could unduly influence voter turnout in a race that could reshape the court's ideological balance. Legal experts have noted that the case may hinge on whether Musk's actions constitute bribery under Wisconsin law. The election is viewed as a crucial test for the influence of Trump's Republican Party in the state, drawing significant national attention and funding.
