From the Associated Press: A Wisconsin judge on Saturday declined to stop billionaire Elon Musk from handing over $1 million checks to two voters in the state at a planned rally days before the closely contested Supreme Court election. The state attorney general, who argues that the offer violates the law, immediately appealed after the judge refused to hear the request for an emergency injunction to block the payments.

The ruling is the latest twist in Musk’s deep involvement in the race, which has set a record for spending in a judicial election and has become a litmus test for the opening months of Donald Trump’s presidency. Trump and Musk are backing Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel in the race, while Democrats are behind Dane County Judge Susan Crawford.

Musk plans a rally Sunday where he intends to give a pair of Wisconsin voters $1 million each for signing an online petition against “activist” judges. He is also offering $100 to anyone who signs it; he previously gave $1 million to a Green Bay man who signed.

Musk and groups he funds have poured more than $20 million into the race, while Democratic megadonors, including George Soros, back Crawford. The race will determine ideological control of the court. Liberals currently hold a 4-3 majority but a retirement this year puts the majority in play. The election concludes Tuesday.

Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, a Democrat, filed a lawsuit on Friday, attempting to stop Musk’s America PAC from giving away the money. After Columbia County Circuit Judge Andrew Voigt ruled against him, Kaul fumed that he will now take the case to the state Court of Appeals.

In a MAJOR conflict of interest, Kaul’s lawsuit against Musk was first randomly assigned to Judge Susan Crawford… the liberal candidate who is running against the Republican candidate Musk is trying to help: Brad Schimel.

Crawford then recused herself from the case.

Musk has been sounding the alarm about the April 1 election in Wisconsin, which is considered to be one of the most critical in the nation.

Late Friday night, Musk explained, “Even more important than the Wisconsin Supreme Court race is the ballot initiative to add voter ID to the state constitution, which will ensure integrity in elections. Both are decided on April 1st. Very important to vote and encourage anyone you know in Wisconsin to vote!”

Donald Trump Jr. urged, “Wisconsin pay attention and vote this weekend.”

Prominent X user “Simon Unleashed” wrote, “This Wisconsin election has national implications. If the Republican doesn’t win it will change the national House of Representatives through redistricting and the current majority will shift in 2026.”

Musk will hold a Town Hall in Green Bay, Wisconsin on Sunday at 6:30pm CT. Entrance is limited to those who have signed the petition in opposition to activist judges. It will be livestreamed on 𝕏.

Musk announced Friday, “On Sunday night, I will give a talk in Wisconsin. To clarify a previous post, entrance is limited to those who have signed the petition in opposition to activist judges. I will also hand over checks for a million dollars to 2 people to be spokesmen for the petition.”

A group called Wisconsin Right Now is blasting Kaul for trying to stop Musk from giving away the $1 million awards.

“So activist AG Josh Kaul goes after people trying to sign petition against activist judges to help activist judge win an election. Election interference?” 

“Josh Kaul just made a huge blunder. He is now the guy trying to prevent average folks in Wisconsin from having a chance at a million bucks for signing a petition.”
