Musk avoids Wisconsin bribery charges amid record-breaking state race

Wisconsin prosecutors say Elon Musk will not face election-bribery charges connected to donations tied to the state’s record‑setting Wisconsin Supreme Court race. The contest drew more than $100 million in spending, with Musk and groups he supported spending at least $20 million to back Brad Schimel, who lost to Susan Crawford. The state attorney general’s attempt to block Musk from delivering checks to two voters was rejected, and Musk argued the gifts were protected free speech.
