Summary

Elon Musk’s America PAC is offering $100 to registered voters who sign a petition opposing “activist judges” ahead of Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election on April 1st.

The legality of this tactic is debated, as it doesn’t mandate voting but requires voter registration.

The race pits conservative Brad Schimel, backed by Musk’s $14 million, against liberal Judge Susan Crawford, with liberals aiming to retain a 4-3 majority.

Musk’s support also ties to Tesla’s lawsuit against Wisconsin’s dealership ban.

    It gives them information with which to rig elections. Exactly what he’s doing with the entire nation’s social security information. Train a model on that, and you instantly have all the information you need to rig an election that is practically undetectable unless you actually go back and review every single ballot, which we know won’t happen.

      They’ve bragged about fixing the last election. There are no consequences. We’ll just have to content ourselves with watching Tesla burn along with American democracy.
