Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), said he’s headed to Wisconsin this weekend. His visit comes right before the big state Supreme Court election.
"On Sunday night, I will give a talk in Wisconsin. Entrance is limited to those who have voted in the Supreme Court election," Musk posted on X.
He also promised money. "Personally hand over two checks for a million dollars each in appreciation for you taking the time to vote."
"This is super important," Musk added.
Just one day earlier, Musk awarded $1 million to a Green Bay man. The man had signed a petition from America PAC, which Musk funds, against “activist judges in Wisconsin.”
Another $1 million winner will be announced Friday, Musk said.
This isn’t the first time Musk has done this. Last year, his PAC ran a similar lottery in Wisconsin and other swing states before the November election.
America PAC recently said it would give $100 to voters who sign its petition. At that time, Musk didn’t mention any $1 million prizes. It’s also unclear how winners are picked.
Tuesday’s election fills a seat left by a retiring liberal justice. The outcome could shift the state Supreme Court from liberal to conservative control.
All eyes are on the race. Trump backers support Republican Brad Schimel. His opponent, Susan Crawford, backed by Democrats, says Musk’s cash is a shady move.
Her campaign claims the million-dollar checks are an illegal attempt to sway the court. Tesla, Musk’s company, has a case that could land before that very court.
