Elon Musk's group spent over $12 million in Wisconsin. Here's why he cares about a state Supreme Court race.

This election has garnered national attention, marking Musk as a significant GOP megadonor. With over $80 million in total spending, it becomes the most expensive judicial election in U.S. history. Experts indicate that the race not only reflects the political landscape but also emphasizes Musk's unabashed involvement, contrasting with typical anonymous campaign contributions in similar races.

We’ve had outside money coming into these races in the past, but what distinguishes it is that Musk is not trying to downplay his role at all.
