As he promotes a conservative candidate for the state’s upcoming Supreme Court election, Elon Musk has presented $1 million checks to two Wisconsin voters.
The tech billionaire, a close ally of President Donald Trump, distributed the oversized checks at a rally in Green Bay on Sunday night, boosting the amount of money being spent in what is already the most expensive judicial race in US history.
Similar actions were made by Musk during the November presidential election. Democratic challengers in Wisconsin, a hotly contested swing state, have succeeded in attempting to stop the handout by claiming it constitutes election interference.
Brad Schimel, a conservative, and Susan Crawford, a Democratic candidate, square off in the April 1 election. The court currently has a 4-3 majority led by the liberals.
The billionaire has heavily participated in the judicial election, which is seen as a preliminary assessment of Trump’s contentious first few weeks in office. In the event that they win, he also asserts that liberals will try to use the Wisconsin court to change voting districts and have an impact on upcoming state election results.
Musk claimed that the vote was a “super big deal” in a speech on Sunday night.
He declared that the US House of Representatives will be decided on Tuesday.
Which party has the most influence over the House, which ultimately determines how the country is governed by Western civilization, he said, adding that the outcome of the vote “will have an impact on humanity’s entire destiny.”
The Supreme Court had earlier rejected a move to stop the handouts.
Josh Kaul, the governor’s attorney general in Wisconsin, claimed in a lawsuit that the Tesla boss’s actions were against state law.
According to Kaul, “Wisconsin law prohibits offering anything of value to entice people to vote,” adding that Elon Musk did just that.
Without giving a justification for its decision, the Supreme Court declined to take the case.
Trump’s agenda
The court’s decision comes as it is anticipated to rule on congressional redistricting, union rights, and abortion rights, which could have an impact on the midterm elections of 2026 and the 2028 presidential election.
The court swings are a part of Trump’s wider plan to stop judges from stifling his ideas in the near future. The president’s controversial actions on immigration, state institutions, and foreign policy are the subject of numerous legal challenges currently being pursued.
Musk claimed that if Crawford were to win, “they would gerrymander the district, and deprive Wisconsin of two seats on the Republican side.”
Then, he added, “they will try to stop all the government reforms we are implementing for you, the American people.”
