Wisconsin AG appeals to state Supreme Court to stop Musk’s giveaway
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul on Sunday appealed to the state’s Supreme Court to block Elon Musk's and America PAC's planned Sunday night giveaway of $1 million apiece to two attendees of Musk's event in Green Bay.
"The Court should grant this Petition and issue an immediate temporary injunction that (1) prohibits Respondents from any further promotion of the million dollar gifts to attendees of the planned event on Sunday, March 30; (2) prohibits Respondents from making any payments to Wisconsin electors conditioned on voting; and (3) prohibits all actions by Respondents taken in furtherance of a planned" violation of a state law that Kaul argues Musk and America PAC are violating with the planned giveaway, Kaul wrote in one of the documents filed.
Musk announced Thursday on social media that he would "personally hand over two checks for a million dollars each" to voters who participated in the Supreme Court election. His political action committee had already awarded $1 million to Scott Ainsworth, a mechanical engineer from Green Bay, for signing its petition.
Musk deleted the post Friday and later clarified that the money would go to people who would serve as "spokesmen" for an online petition against "activist judges."

Wisconsin law makes it a felony to offer anything of value to induce a voter to cast a ballot or refrain from voting. Violators face fines up to $10,000, imprisonment up to 3 ½ years, or both.
Musk and Trump are backing conservative Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel in the election. Schimel told WISN 12 News on Friday that he has "no plans" to attend Sunday's rally with Musk.
Democrats are backing liberal Dane County Judge Susan Crawford.
The race has already broken spending records for a judicial contest in the U.S., with funds raised exceeding $81 million. Musk has been the largest financial contributor, though billionaire George Soros and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker have donated a combined $3.5 million to Crawford's campaign.
