Wisconsin Court Allows Elon Musk's $1M Giveaway to Voters Ahead of High-Stakes Supreme Court Election:

Two days before one of the most contentious Supreme Court elections in the nation’s history, a Wisconsin appellate court denied the state Democratic attorney general’s request to stop Elon Musk from distributing checks worth USD 1 million to two voters at a rally scheduled for Sunday.

Musk’s deep involvement with this particular election has always been controversial, though neither the Republican candidate Musk and Trump back, Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel, nor the Democrats’ pick, Dane County Susan Judge Crawford, comes from the traditional power centers of the parties in Wisconsin. This election has not only been the most expensive judicial election in the history of the United States, it also served as a barometer for rest of Trump’s presidency. Trump and Musk have all but endorsed Schimel, casting aside any pretense that they will allow the election to have a fair outcome.

Josh Kaul, the state attorney general, filed the lawsuit on Musk’s promise, arguing how the offer breaks state law. Kaul soon appealed to the state Court of Appeals after a lower court judge refused to issue an emergency payment blockade.

Musk plans a Sunday rally at which he plans to pay USD 1 million to two Wisconsin voters for filing an online petition against what he describes as "activist" judges. Musk has also offered USD 100 for anyone who signs the petition, and previously made headlines when he paid a Green Bay man USD 1 million for signing.

Musk, along with other groups he supports, has already spent more than USD 20 million for the candidacy, as the Democrat megadonors, including George Soros, are supporting Crawford. This election will decide rivalry control over the court. At the moment, liberals hold the majority with 4 over 3, although a retirement this year shifts that balance of power. The election wraps up on Tuesday.

Kaul contends that Musk's bet pledges cross the line of a violation since he would be offering value for a vote, which in a state law, classifies as a felony.

Last year midterm elections, Musk's political action committee employed almost the same scheme. This one involved paying voters USD 1 million a day for signing a petition, but only to residents of Wisconsin and six other battleground states, granting them the power of the First and Second Amendments. A Pennsylvania judge stated that prosecutors did not prove their case of these actions being an illegal lottery, which allowed these actions to remain in effect until elections were concluded.

After the Wisconsin Supreme Court hit judges'or considered exercising their powers for redistricting the state, deciding the union's authority, and ruling the voting processes for the midterms election in 2026 and 2028 presential, there is the anticipated decision that needs to be settled for discussion on contention regarding abortion rights.

The owner of Tesla and Space X, Musk, previously posted on social media platform X claiming that he personally intended to “gift USD 2 million” to two individuals that have already participated in the voting contest. In his lawsuit, Kaul demanded that the court prohibit Musk from using Sunday’s payments as a promotion for this contest and forbid him from further payments to voters in Wisconsin.

In the incoherent statement provided by Kaul, he attested that since Musk omitted his first post, nobody declared that the reward payments would be discarded.
