ELON Musk gives one million dollars before the Wisconsin Supreme Court elections

Billionaire Illon Musk made checks of one million dollars (770,000 pounds) for voters in Wisconsin after the state’s Supreme Court rejected the intervention.

Musk announced the prize earlier this week, before the tightly disputed Supreme Court elections in Wisconsin on Tuesday.

Fif up a lawsuit against the public prosecutor in Wisconsin and Democrat Josh Cole to stop the gift, on the pretext that Musk was violating the state law that prohibits gifts in exchange for votes.

The race, which can turn control of the state’s Supreme Court of Republicans, has become a flash point and the most expensive judicial elections in American history.

Speaking on a march on Sunday night, Musk said, “We just want the judges to be judges,” before distributing two checks over a million dollars (750,000 pounds) for the voters who signed a petition to stop the “activist”.

Cole tried to argue that the gift was illegal to buy votes. In response to this, MUSK lawyers argued that Cole “is restricting Mr. Musk’s political speech and reduces the rights of the first amendment.”

Musk’s lawyers added that the payments “aim to generate a popular movement in the opposition of active judges, and not to defend any candidate or against any candidate.”

After two lower trials ascended to Musk, Cole begged to the state’s Supreme Court to stop the eleventh o’clock. But the Supreme Court unanimously rejected the case.

Musk and President Donald Trump supported a conservative candidate, a province of Wakisha Brad Shemel, in the hope of turning to the liberal transformation court.

Judge Shamel is running against the Dan Susan Krufford provincial judge, which was approved by the liberal court judges in the Supreme Court.

Tech Titan’s lawyers also argued that the judges who publicly approved Judge Kroford in the Supreme Court race must be prevented from judging in this regard, on the pretext that it is a matter of bias.

Observers in Wisconsin look at a referendum in the second Trump state, just months after his inauguration.

It also comes before the cases that will affect the court on the rights of miscarriage, and the rules of re -dividing Congress and voting that can affect the renewal elections in 2026.

Musk himself frams the elections as an opportunity to stop the re -division of circles that could grant Democrats in Congress.

He donated $ 14 million to judge the Shamel campaign, as the race proves the most expensive judicial race in the country’s history, with a total of 81 million dollars.

Despite his support, Judge Shemel seemed to distance himself from Musk in recent days, as he told Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Friday that he had not had plans to be in the gathering.

“I have no idea what he is doing. I have no idea about what this gathering is,” Judge Shimel told the newspaper.

This is not the first time that Musk has announced a gift to the voters. Last year, he presented a one -day cash prize for voters in Wisconsin and six other countries in the battle if they fell on a petition that supports the rights of the first and second amendment.

A judge in Pennsylvania later spent that the gift was legal, saying that the prosecutors who failed to prove that it was an illegal lottery.
