A Wisconsin judge on Saturday declined to stop billionaire Elon Musk from handing over $1 million checks to two voters in the state at a planned rally days before the closely contested Supreme Court election.
The state attorney general, who argues that the offer violates the law, immediately appealed after the judge refused to hear the request for an emergency injunction to block the payments.
The ruling is the latest twist in Musk’s deep involvement in the race,
which has set a record for spending in a judicial election and has become a litmus test for the opening months of Donald Trump’s presidency.
Trump and Musk are backing Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel in the race, while Democrats are behind Dane County Judge #Susan #Crawford.
Musk plans a rally Sunday where he intends to give a pair of Wisconsin voters $1 million each for signing an online petition against “activist” judges.
He is also offering $100 to anyone who signs it; he previously gave $1 million to a Green Bay man who signed.
Musk and groups he funds have poured more than $20 million into the race, while Democratic megadonors, including George Soros, back Crawford.
The race will determine ideological control of the court.
Liberals currently hold a 4-3 majority but a retirement this year puts the majority in play.
The election concludes Tuesday.

First up today - another pitch for #Susan #Crawford.

Musk has now poured $18m into this race and we have to keep up.

Our community has responded, mightily, and has now raised almost $200,000

I know many of you have been working hard on this race for weeks/months.
Our new mega-stretch goal is $225,000 by this Sunday, 31st.

A group backed by billionaire #Elon #Musk is behind a set of deceptive attack ads and text messages targeting voters just weeks ahead of the 👉election for a seat on Wisconsin’s Supreme Court,
employing a battleground state strategy it used last year against Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
The ads are labeled as coming from "Progress 2028" (a fictitious group) and are made to look like authentic messages of support for Dane County Circuit ✅Judge #Susan #Crawford -- who is backed by Democrats.
They describe her as a “progressive champion” who will “stand up for immigrants,” defend Planned Parenthood and promote a justice system that gives criminals “second chances.”
But records show the ads that appear on Facebook and Instagram and in text messages to some voters are underwritten by❌ "Building America’s Future".
That’s a national conservative group that counts Musk among its biggest donors, a Wall Street Journal report revealed

The new collection of ads is the latest example of how Musk’s extraordinary wealth has been used to promote the Republican Party’s political interests,
-- including in a contest for ideological control of the highest court in one of the country’s most important presidential swing states.

It’s the biggest election of 2025, and our rights are on the line.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are bankrolling Brad Schimel's Supreme Court campaign because they know Wisconsin's highest court can stop their lawless coup.

Brad Schimel would be a rubber-stamp for Musk and Trump's assault on constitutional checks and balances to give themselves sole power to enrich the ultra-wealthy at the expense of everyone else.

A MAGA Supreme Court in Wisconsin could reverse our progress on fair state legislative maps and lock in power for far-right legislators,
and give them the power to overturn elections when they don't like the results.
