Earlier this week, all American eyes were on Wisconsin as two judges duked it out for a seat on the state’s supreme court — a race that Elon Musk poured millions into. @bolts’s Alex Burness wrote the definitive story on what happened and what it all means. “Today should be a breaking point for our state. Even if your preferred candidate wins, … every single Wisconsinite should be alarmed at this grotesque billionaire arms race,” Nick Ramos, executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Center, told Bolts late Tuesday, before the result was announced. “The past two months have shown us a terrifying preview of what’s coming: an America where billionaires run the show, and the rest of us are just spectators.”

Not sure if the timing of #Trump telling his cabinet thet #ElonMusk's wings will be clipped (if the glue holding them doesn't come off spontaneously) is related to #Musk's failed bribery gambit in #Wisconsin.

In Wisconsin, where billionaire adviser to Donald Trump, Elon Musk, spoke in Green Bay ahead of Tuesday’s state Supreme Court election.
Musk has spent around $20 million to support Trump-backed candidate #BradSchimel over liberal #SusanCrawford in what’s become the most expensive judicial election in U.S. history.

Oups, Musk's money couldn't influence voter's choice, and Susan Crawford got elected yesterday.

During a rally on Sunday, Musk distributed two $1m cheques to voters at a rally who signed a petition of his against "activist judges".

Others who signed it received $100 from Musk.

Pour influencer le vote de la cour suprême du Wisconsin, Musk a fait un don au candidat de Trump Brad Schimmel ; il a aussi offert un chèque de 1 million $ à 2 personnes prises au hasard parmi les signataire d'une pétition en faveur de l’élection de Schimmer.

Bummer, Schimmer a été largement battu dans les urn,es et le Procureur Général du Wisconsin a ouvert une action en justice contre Musk pour cette pratique, aujourd'hui illégale, du 19ème siècle où les partis donnaient un billet de 10$ pour chaque personnes allant voter pour son candidat.

“Right-wing media turning on Brad Schimel as his campaign falls apart. Flip-flopping on issues, trying to dodge Trump’s toxic influence—it’s clear he’s about to lose big. apartheid Elon millions won’t save him from this disaster. #WIStateSupremeCourt #BradSchimel #RightWingMedia #Election2025”
