Summary
Elon Musk gave away two $1 million checks in Wisconsin ahead of a key state Supreme Court election, prompting backlash after one winner was revealed as Nicholas Jacobs, chair of the Wisconsin College Republicans.
Critics called the giveaway “rigged,” fueling suspicion about Musk’s political motives.
Though Musk claimed the money wasn’t tied to voting, his deleted post initially suggested it rewarded voters. Wisconsin law bans vote-motivating payments.
Musk has invested nearly $20 million to support conservative candidate Brad Schimel.
I called this. It was always rigged.
He did this in Pennsylvania
Well DUH. You don’t want one of the “poors” to get the money.
Not necessarily a brag when it’s blatantly obvious, it’s like saying I told you the sun would rise tomorrow. Lol
When was I bragging? Just stating the obvious, champ.
