Wisconsin weighs possible charges over Musk's $1M voter payments in Supreme Court race

Two complaints allege Elon Musk violated Wisconsin’s election-law by distributing $1 million to voters to influence turnout in the 2025 state Supreme Court election. The Wisconsin Elections Commission referred the cases to the Brown County district attorney, who has about 40 days to decide whether to file charges. Musk’s involvement, and his PAC’s broader spending in the race, coincided with a contentious campaign that saw lawsuits against the payments, though no charges have yet been filed.
