"Musk, who is the world's wealthiest person and is running President Donald Trump's initiative to slash the size of the federal workforce, has given $3 million to the Wisconsin GOP while groups he supports have funneled more than $17 million into the race.

The contributions are part of an extraordinary spending spree in the race, making it by far the most expensive judicial race on record in the U.S. Total spending has eclipsed $80 million with days still to go before the final day of voting on April 1.

Schimel's critics have accused Musk of trying to buy a favorable ruling for Tesla should the dealership case make it to the state Supreme Court.

Here are details of the law and Musk's lawsuit:" see thread link

Hey now, if a minor billionaire like Trump can own the US Supreme Court, there's no reason why a real billionaire like Musk can't purchase a piddling State Supreme Court.... by paying cash for votes.

- What a gash.

I always knew that ShrimpD was actually a gash.... now he's a Nazi-loving gash.

Who 'thinks' that Wisc law is illegal.

"Wisconsin's attorney general is racing to stop Elon Musk's million-dollar giveaways in the state tonight"

"Wisconsin's Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul has asked the state Supreme Court to block Musk and his super PAC from offering $1 million awards to voters at this evening's town hall in Green Bay, according to a new court filing."

Musk has said he will "hand over checks for a million dollars to 2 people to be spokesmen" for a petition against "activist judges." But that's after the tech billionaire deleted an earlier version of the post, in which he had written he would give the checks "in appreciation for you taking the time to vote."

Where things stand: An appeals court on Saturday denied the attorney general's initial request, so Kaul is now asking the state Supreme Court, where liberals hold a 4-3 majority, to intervene before the event's 6:30 p.m. local start time (7:30 p.m. ET).

"Resolution of this legal issue is urgent," Kaul wrote in the brief filed Sunday. "If this Court does not take prompt action, and the prizes are awarded, the injury to public confidence in the validity of this election cannot be undone."
