Musk likely broke Wisconsin election bribery law

The United States — Wisconsin Elections Commission found probable cause that Elon Musk violated state election bribery law by offering $1 million checks to voters in the 2025 United States — Wisconsin Supreme Court election. The commission referred complaints to the Brown County district attorney, who has 40 days to decide on charges. Musk's Americas spent over $20 million supporting conservative candidate Brad Schimel, who lost to liberal Susan Crawford. The election was the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history, with total spending exceeding $100 million. Musk's actions have also led to lawsuits from the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign and other parties.
