Elon Musk Wasted $25M on Wisconsin Supreme Court Election Failure

Elon Musk's heavy investment in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election failed to pay off, with Democratic-backed Susan Crawford winning the seat that decides control of the judiciary.

The Associated Press called the race for Crawford Tuesday at 10:16 p.m. ET.

Musk spent over 20 million supporting Brad Schimel, and several million more in petition giveaway raising awareness about the election, but the Republican-endorsed candidate was unsuccessful, resulting in a 4-3 liberal majority in the judiciary.

Newsweek contacted Elon Musk and America PAC for comment on this story via email

How Much Did Elon Musk Spend in Wisconsin?
Elon Musk spent $22 million directly supporting Schimel, via donations from America PAC, which Musk originally founded in 2024 to support President Donald Trump, according to reports from CNN.

In addition to this, Musk funded a series of giveaways, also run through America PAC, for a petition that called on voters to reject "activist judges", language that Musk has repeatedly use to describe liberals in the judiciary.

Was Musk losing.

The world needs to see him lose. They need to see that he can't just buy elections and make things happen because he's rich.

He also now sees that he can lose these contests and it might just make him feel less froggy about jumping into future contests he might also lose because he's a guy who I'm guessing really really hates to lose.
