Democrats seize on result as a referendum on Musk and an emphatic repudiation of Trump’s richest supporter and ally
Summary
Democrats celebrated Susan Crawford's 10-point win in Wisconsin’s state supreme court race over Elon Musk-backed Brad Schimel, preserving the court’s 4-3 liberal majority.
Musk, who spent $25M supporting Schimel, faced online ridicule, including a post from the Democrats’ official account showing him in a cheese head labeled “Loser.”
They cast the result as a rejection of Trump’s agenda and Musk’s influence. Crawford called it a victory over the “richest man in the world.”
Republicans questioned Musk’s impact. Trump stayed silent but celebrated narrower GOP House wins in Florida
Just another reminder is that the worst thing that can happy to Elon from our collective rejection is for him to have to get a job. This is what he's so desperate not to do that he'll sacrifice democracy itself for. Tax the rich into the center of the earth.
