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.

    So musk cheated on the ‘lottery’ which he was never allowed to create? And someone is expecting that he be held to account for cheating his illegal lottery? Newsflash, this is what happens when you get rid of regulatory bodies. People just do whatever the fuck they want with noone to hold them to account.
