A bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission voted 5-1 to refer complaints against Elon Musk to the Brown County District Attorney, finding he likely violated the state's election bribery law by offering $1 million payments to voters during the 2025 Wisconsin Supreme Court race. Prosecutors now have 40 days to decide whether to pursue criminal charges. Musk and affiliated groups reportedly spent at least $20 million backing Republican candidate Brad Schimel, who lost by 10 points to Democrat-backed Susan Crawford in the most expensive judicial election in U.S. history, with more than $100 million spent overall.
