Musk's America PAC Invests $20 Million in Wisconsin Supreme Court Race

Elon Musk's America PAC has invested over $20 million into the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, significantly influencing the race between conservative candidate Brad Schimel and liberal opponent Susan Crawford. The PAC has deployed canvassers across the state, spending $4.3 million on this initiative alone, aiming to mobilize voters in a contest that could shift the court's ideological balance. Musk emphasized the importance of the election at a recent rally, stating it could be pivotal for the future of civilization. The total spending for this election is projected to exceed $81 million, raising concerns among campaign finance reform advocates about the implications of such financial influence on judicial elections. The Wisconsin Attorney General has also challenged Musk's controversial $1 million giveaways to voters, viewing them as potentially illegal incentives to vote, although the state Supreme Court declined to hear the case. The high stakes of this election reflect the growing trend of significant financial contributions in state judicial races across the country.
