The Wisconsin Supreme Court Race Has Become All About Elon Musk
Briefly

The upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court election on April 1 is projected to be the most costly in U.S. history, potentially hitting $100 million. The heavy financing is attributed to traditional campaign efforts by Judge Susan Crawford and Judge Brad Schimel, alongside substantial donations from independent groups, particularly those funded by Elon Musk. Independent expenditures are already 103% higher than the previous year. This election will fill a seat vacated by a retiring liberal justice and could determine the court's ideological balance, emphasizing its significance in the politically pivotal state.
In particular, groups funded by Elon Musk are making a significant impact on the financing of this year's Supreme Court race in Wisconsin.
The stakes are high for Wisconsin's Supreme Court race, which will determine whether the court maintains its liberal majority or shifts back to conservative control.
