Summary
Elon Musk gave away two $1 million checks in Wisconsin ahead of a key state Supreme Court election, prompting backlash after one winner was revealed as Nicholas Jacobs, chair of the Wisconsin College Republicans.
Critics called the giveaway “rigged,” fueling suspicion about Musk’s political motives.
Though Musk claimed the money wasn’t tied to voting, his deleted post initially suggested it rewarded voters. Wisconsin law bans vote-motivating payments.
Musk has invested nearly $20 million to support conservative candidate Brad Schimel.
I called this. It was always rigged.
Well DUH. You don’t want one of the “poors” to get the money.
He did this in Pennsylvania
Did the SC make bribes legal?
Everything is legal until someone has the balls to enforce it not being illegal.
I understand what you mean, but that isn’t “legal”, it’s just injustice
Why would this be any different from the last time he did this?
Not necessarily a brag when it’s blatantly obvious, it’s like saying I told you the sun would rise tomorrow. Lol
When was I bragging? Just stating the obvious, champ.
I’m totally cool with doxxing all these invertebrates’ personal info
How is this still not illegal?
It is unquestionably illegal. For your reference, here are the pertinent Wisconsin Bribery Statutes.
This leaves me to question how much the various judges that allowed this to proceed were
payedpaid to ignore the laws as written. Assuming it wasn’t just fear of reprisal from MAGA terrorists that kept them from stopping it.Might not be the judges yet. A prosecutor has to charge them first. Then a judge can ignore it
The WI AG went to court to block him from doing the give away and the judge said no. He then appealed that and the appeals court refused to stop it. He then went to the WI Supreme Court who also refused to stop it. Judges have already been ignoring it.

Fixed. Thank you.
It is illegal
But legality hardly matters for the rich
The laws written down are merely the highwater mark of how democratic a society is in theory, or they are the lowwater mark of what the ruling class has been allowed to get away with in public in terms of brutally oppressing the lower classes, but they never represent a true accountability of the rich, merely a record of the struggle between the ruling class and the rest of society, a reading of the balance of scales at any given moment that the rich no matter what can still bat away ildly like an annoying fly in their face unless we take the fundamental issues with capitalism and wealth inequality seriously.
Think of it like this. His money is so dirty that here is an argument as to whether it is safe for humans.
Nothing is illegal if you’re rich enough.
The rule of law in the United States collapsed a long time ago, and at this point only exists to enforce violence on poors.
This man is an existential threat to democracy
Or maybe its money and we should get rid of it and just work for the pleasure of it and get everything we need for free :|
…
sorry… my repressed communist soul came out, I’ll repress it back in.
I guess it’s technically not bribery if you only defrauded people into thinking they were going to receive a bribe. /s
Ending hunger, one judge at a time

You want to support this guy, you better get used to seeing rigged elections.
Shitty and totally legal. Slaps something So much fuckin freedom in this baby.
They’re practicing for how their voting will work
It’s not a lottery. They just pick the winner based on their alignment with their values so the can use that person in their political aspirations. That’s what happened in previous “giveaways”
This is obviously laughable as a corruption move. Will it bring consequences ?
As soon as Teslas are fully self driving
