Elon Musk is paying voters again ahead of the Wisconsin Supreme Court election
1 min read
Summary
Elon Musk is funding an initiative aimed at encouraging voters to sign a petition against ‘activist judges’ in return for $100.
The Republican-leaning billionaire has already spent $14m in an attempt to secure a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat for conservative candidate Brad Schimel.
The seat will determine whether liberals maintain a majority ruling on issues such as abortion and gerrymandering.
Musk is continuing to voice his views on US elections, despite an ongoing lawsuit against the state of Wisconsin, where Tesla is banned from operating dealerships.
The petition seeks voter contact information and does not mention Musk, Trump or Schimel directly.
This is not the first time Musk has attempted to influence elections in this way; he offered $1 million to those who signed a Trump petition ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
