Summary

Elon Musk handed out $1 million to a voter to boost Republican support in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, backing GOP candidate Brad Schimel against Democrat Susan Crawford.

The donation is part of Musk’s America PAC efforts to flip the court and counter “activist judges.”

Musk has invested over $20 million in Schimel’s campaign, with more surprise donations promised before the April 1 election.

The race is seen as a pivotal political battle, while Tesla faces legal challenges in Wisconsin over direct car sales.

    Yeah, Biden’s term was simply quiet. For the most part, the government ran properly and things didn’t break. But he also refused to actually spur the DOJ into action, because he didn’t want it to be seen as a frivolous witch hunt. He was more focused on keeping the peace than he was on actually protecting the country from domestic threats.
