Elon Musk’s political action committee, America PAC, is offering Wisconsin voters $100 to sign a petition opposing "activist judges," with an additional $100 for each voter they refer. The PAC announced the initiative Thursday in a post on X, just days before early voting began for the state’s Supreme Court election.
The move has drawn criticism from Susan Crawford, a Democrat-backed candidate in the race, who accused Musk of attempting to buy votes. A spokesperson for Crawford’s campaign claimed Musk is “trying to buy a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court to secure a favorable ruling in his company’s lawsuit against the state.”
The election between Crawford and Republican-supported candidate Brad Schimel will determine whether the court maintains its liberal majority or shifts to conservative control.
