Musk's $14M Influence in Wisconsin Court Election

News summary

Elon Musk's political action committee, America PAC, is offering Wisconsin voters $100 to sign a petition opposing 'activist judges' ahead of a pivotal Wisconsin Supreme Court election on April 1. This petition is part of a broader effort by Musk to influence the race, which features conservative judge Brad Schimel and liberal judge Susan Crawford, potentially shifting the court's ideological balance. The initiative has sparked controversy and concerns over legality, with critics accusing Musk of attempting to buy influence in the judiciary and affecting state legal proceedings involving his interests. Musk's groups have reportedly spent over $14 million supporting Schimel, while Crawford's campaign criticizes the financial influence as corrupt. The petition drive follows similar tactics used by Musk's PAC in other battleground states, raising questions about the influence of money in judicial elections.
