Wisconsin Judge Declines to Block Musk’s $1 Million Payments in Supreme Court Race
Attorney General Josh Kaul has appealed the decision as Musk prepares to distribute funds at a rally, intensifying legal and political tensions days before the election.
- A Wisconsin judge refused to issue an emergency injunction against Elon Musk's planned $1 million payments to two petition signers, prompting an appeal by the state attorney general.
- Musk initially announced the payments would go to voters but later clarified they would be for individuals who signed a petition opposing 'activist judges,' raising legal questions about election bribery laws.
- The Wisconsin Supreme Court race has become the most expensive U.S. judicial election, with over $81 million spent, and will determine the court's ideological majority.
- Musk's involvement has drawn scrutiny due to Tesla's pending lawsuit against Wisconsin, which could come before the court, and his financial backing of conservative candidate Brad Schimel.
- Early voting turnout has surged nearly 50% compared to 2023, as both campaigns ramp up efforts ahead of the April 1 election.
