Democracy 1, Elon Musk 0
Briefly

In a critical Wisconsin Supreme Court election, progressive candidate Susan Crawford triumphed over Republican Brad Schimel, leading to a reinforcing of the progressive majority on the court. Elon Musk's $21 million investment in the right-wing candidate's campaign failed to sway voters who delivered a strong message against both Musk's influence and Trump's negative campaigning. Crawford's win is anticipated to affect significant issues like abortion rights and voting laws, underscoring the election's importance in a state pivotal in the recent presidential election.
Elon Musk's $21 million push for a right-wing Supreme Court candidate in Wisconsin backfired, as voters delivered a 55-45 victory to progressive Judge Susan Crawford.
Musk suggested the election in Wisconsin could impact humanity significantly, yet voters across the battleground state rebuked his financial influence and Trump's attacks.
