This announcement, made on X just days before early voting commenced for the state's Supreme Court election, has sparked significant debate. Susan Crawford, a candidate backed by Democrats, has criticized Musk's actions, accusing him of attempting to "buy votes." A representative from Crawford's campaign further alleged that Musk is "trying to buy a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court to secure a favorable ruling in his company’s lawsuit against the state."
As reported by The Post Millennial, the election between Crawford and Brad Schimel, who is supported by Republicans, will determine whether the court retains its liberal majority or shifts towards conservative control. The Associated Press notes that America PAC, along with another Musk-funded entity, Building for America’s Future, has invested over $13 million in support of Schimel, according to data from the Brennan Center for Justice.

Although a Philadelphia district attorney sought to halt these payments under Pennsylvania law, a judge ruled that the effort did not constitute an illegal lottery, allowing it to proceed until Election Day.
