Summary
Elon Musk handed out $1 million to a voter to boost Republican support in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, backing GOP candidate Brad Schimel against Democrat Susan Crawford.
The donation is part of Musk’s America PAC efforts to flip the court and counter “activist judges.”
Musk has invested over $20 million in Schimel’s campaign, with more surprise donations promised before the April 1 election.
The race is seen as a pivotal political battle, while Tesla faces legal challenges in Wisconsin over direct car sales.
You can’t pay someone to vote a certain way, but what if you pay people who love {[interest that correlates strongly with republican support]} to vote.
You don’t pay people to vote a particular way, which would be illegal, but you get the result you want regardless.
