Elon Musk hands out $1 million payments after Wisconsin Supreme Court declines request to stop him
Two lower courts had already rejected the legal challenge by Democrat Josh Kaul, who argues that Musk's offer violates a state law.
Summary
Elon Musk handed $1 million checks to two Wisconsin voters at a Sunday rally supporting conservative court candidate Brad Schimel ahead of the state’s pivotal Supreme Court election.
But the state Supreme Court, which is currently controlled 4-3 by liberal justices, declined to take the case as an original action and gave no rationale for its decision.
Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul argued the payments violated election law.
Musk’s groups have spent over $20 million in the race, which has drawn more than $81 million in total spending.
Exactly the bullshit verdict expected.
Cowards! Do your jobs! Should have taken inspiration from the French.
A million that was not randomly given, but presented like it was.
God dammit guys. 4-3 Libs in favor and they decline to take it on. This just feels like more of the same from our side.
Stop thinking liberals are on your side. They will never stand up to fascism.
40% identify as conservative, 40% as moderate, and 20% (25 in a good year) identity as liberal.
Like it or not, your leftist agenda can only be achieved by working with those you'd rather not. Refusing to do so and not formulating a strategy to get them onboard with your agenda is detrimental to every goal you have.
Anyone look into the recent finances of the Wisconsin Supreme Court justices?
I know our elections are bought and sold but this feels a little…. On the nose.

Fucking Liberals being Liberals 😮💨🤬
Paid to lose.
Why does the SC have to take anything for charges to be brought?
Money
It was a civil suit, not criminal charges. And the suit has been brought and argued, and appealed once, this was another appeal that was declined.
Edit: actually it wasn't. The article says they "declined to take the case as an original action", probably because it belonged in the lower courts first, then appealed to the higher court.
Why not Luigi?
Liquidate Musk
Lock him up!
