Wisconsin DA: Elon Musk won’t face charges over 2025 election posts
TL;DR Summary
La Crosse County District Attorney Tim Gruenke said Elon Musk won’t be charged over two March 27, 2025 social posts offering to hand out $1 million each to voters and to petition spokesmen in connection with Wisconsin’s 2025 Supreme Court election; while the posts could be framed as bribery, Gruenke argued they could also be seen as a town-hall entry or pre‑determined payments to spokespersons, making a conviction unlikely. The Wisconsin Elections Commission had previously found the posts violated election-bribery law and referred the matter to a special prosecutor; Musk’s team did not respond.
